2020 Chardonnay
2020 Chardonnay
A chalky, lime-tinged, almost granitic, quarry-dust quality permeates every layer of the wine. These notions mingle together on the nose with a touch of the just slightly waxy, lightest of acacia honey aromas. The texture is fine and refined with slight ‘tilleul’ (perhaps even chestnut) tones on the midpalate and finish.
Winemaker Notes
The Le Grand Clos Pinot Noir hails from the 'artistic' 2020 vintage, in which the warm, dry harvest conditions allowed for unhurried, considered choices that ultimately respected the transparency of the local terroir and character of the year. Both Le Grand Clos Chardonnay and Pinot Noir blocks happen to come from parcels on the western side of the Le Clos Jordanne vineyard: a happenstance of aspect and geology.
