Description

From a healthy 2.5-hectare holding, this was fermented in 20% new oak, the rest in tank. Somewhat closed at present, there’s earthy spice and tightly wound white stone-fruit on the nose. The palate is stinging in both concentration and austerity. There’s a huge ball of fruit tightly bound up in the spicy, chewy structure. There’s plenty of potential. Drink 2025-2035.

Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 93/100
(from a 2.5 ha parcel; 90% was vinified in stainless with 10% in new oak followed by an élevage in 1-year old wood). This too is ripe enough to flirt with exoticism on the citrus confit, floral, sea breeze and softly wooded nose. The opulent yet tension-filled big-bodied flavors also brim with both minerality and dry extract while delivering outstanding length on the bone dry, powerful and expressly built-to-age finale. This is excellent but at least some patience will be required. 2029+allen_meadows, burghound_com, (December 2020)

Full pale gold but still bright. The nose shows evolution warmth and volume, but no suggestion that this needs drinking up. This makes a full-on wine which seems a little bit pasty in character until the finish when it begins to dance, excellent acidity still. This is a massive wine that developed very well with time in the glass, to show the solidity of the vintage but also its future potential.Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com, (November 2020)

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
