Showcasing the most natural acidity of any of the 2017 white releases, this is a wine of some contrasts. On the one hand there’s a pithy, flinty funky nose that takes its cues from Coche Dury Meursault, but underneath there’s a palate that is linear and so tight. A very modern and evocative white wine with classy energy and life, if in a very svelte form.
Clone P58, yield 2t/a, hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, wild-fermented, 53% mlf, matured for 10 months in French oak (15% new), 233 dozen made. Vibrant singular shaft of flavour first up; minimal oak influence. White peach and grapefruit lead the way along the energetic palate, flavours intersecting every corner of the mouth.
