Pascal Clément Savigny-les-Beaunes Dessus Les Vermots 2017
Burgundy, FrancePascal Clément, well known for his exceptional white wines, loves using older foudre for his whites, as he feels it brings out the saltiness in the wine. Pascal also never uses bâtonnage on his wines, leaving them on full lees in barrels after pressing. From the cooler, wind-swept top of Savigny's hills, this aging white streams kernels, flax, hazelnuts along a lees-decked base, with a buzzy limestone base to lift through a lingering salty lemon finish. It's lovely to taste this again now with a little age on it.Tasted: 28 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:

Pascal Clément Savigny-les-Beaunes Dessus Les Vermots 2017
Burgundy, FranceFrom Savigny-les-Beaune, this was native fermented in foudres, where it was held for a year. Pascal, well known for his exceptional white wines, loves using older foudre for his whites, as he feels it brings out the saltiness in the wine. Pascal also never uses batonnage on his wines, leaving them on full lees in barrels after pressing. From the top of Savigny's hills, and a cooler, wind-swept site, this is pointed and tight, with a welcome lick of reduction up front. Nimble and taut, with flecks of pencil lead. Very juicy, saline, and mouthwatering, this is very long in the mouth with lingering mineral salts. Powerful, yet fresh, this is drinking stunning now, but will age beautifully.Tasted: 08 November 2019Tasted by: Prices:
