This parcel of Chardonnay has been certified organic for over 15 years. The soils here have an extremely high limestone content. Aged in used barrels for one year. Not fined or filtered. 10ppm SO2 at bottling.
Each year this is so true to the terroir, and 2020 is the best expression yet. A mix of lime curd, butter, bread, sea shells and a light dusting of nutmeg. Super mineral thanks to the limestone. Bright, with ample texture and charging with acidity. Rich but saline and fresh. Mid palate of peach, nectarine and a twist of lime. This is really vibrant and alive in the mouth, with huge tension on the finish. One of my favourite whites from AMI.
