Tasting notes
In 2019, the wine is singing – precise yet powerful, with amazing vibrancy. This wine punches well above its weight. Tight and taut at the moment, a note of gunflint reduction blows off with time in the glass to reveal more delicate white florals. A chalky, mineral line runs through the wine, with a lime zest freshness. The palate is concentrated with an intense core of lemon sherbet freshness; with waves of citrus fruit and vibrant acidity that drives to a long finish with a saline twist. There’s an amazing clarity here – Chardonnay in high definition. Poised yet powerful, this is a beautiful Bourgogne Chardonnay only set to offer more with time in bottle.
