From a single site – the Bizot family vineyard. All chardonnay. Barrel maturation employed. A foamy texture belies the detail of fruit, spice, savoury oak seasoning and freshness here. Summer fruits, biscuits and bread, toast and cinnamon and honey and marshmallow and ginger. Intense, saline acidity and bristling, tight and fine bubbles. A little glossiness of intensity even with the freshness. It’s rich but lively, coursing with energy and yet shows off the mature fruit and secondary characters so well. A kaleidoscopic experience, per se. Just straight up fantastic, and a world beater.
