Pascal Clément Bourgogne Chardonnay 2020
Burgundy, FranceFrom Savigny-les-Beaune, Chorey-les-Beaune, and Puligny, 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 bâtonnage on his wines, leaving them on full lees in barrels after pressing. Streamlined yet creamy, with a lees-decked palate livened with lemon pith and peel, and ample stony salinity, finishing with a lick of flint. Youthful, juicy, and bright, this is shining now.Tasted: 30 January 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $42.00 | 750ml | consignment |
