Chardonnay from Échevronne, grown on clay and limestone soils. About 360M above sea level. Aged in used barrels for 6 months, before being racked to tank to settle. Not fined or filtered. 10ppm SO2 before bottling. 11.5% alc.
Welcoming subtle reduction with floral notes underneath. Fresh lemon and spring blossom emerge, all very bright and high toned. With more air, butter, white peach, nectarine and sweet lemon appear. Racy and energetic with lots of drive. Summery. Has beautiful material throughout the mid palate and decent tension on the finish. Luminous, with soft flavours and nice lift. Medium plus acidity – juicy and pithy. More Chablis-esque, rather than a big rich Meursault for example. This is all about clarity and purity.
