Pascal Clément Saint Romain 2015
Burgundy, FranceFrom Saint Romain, a region larger and less well known than Saint-Aubin (thus a hidden gem for value-seekers), this was native fermented in foudres, where it was held for a year. Pascal, well known for his exceptional white wines, loves using older large barrels 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. Due to the warm 2015 vintage, Pascal decided not to do MLF here, as he normally does. Licks of reduction and savoury brown butter are woven throughout this textural wine, with flax, meadow grass, broken stones and a persistent wash of salts through the lingering finish. Quite fresh now, even considering the vintage, this elegant wine is drinking beautifully now, with time ahead.Tasted: 16 December 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $46.95 | 750ml | consignment |
