Tony Ling Likes this wine: 94 points
April 8, 2024 - 12.5% ABV. 4119 bottles made. Harvested from own vineyard on 22 Oct 2022, these JAS organic certified grapes include a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Blanc in a ratio of 3:4:3.
Pressed in whole bunches, debourbaged on the 3rd day and transferred into stainless steel tank. Fermented with wild yeasts, the wine finished MLF and aged in stainless steel tanks. The wine was racked twice for mainly aeration purpose. 15 ppm SO2 was added.
PNP into Grassl Liberte glass (“No” day): Medium golden with greenish tints to the eyes.
Ripe citrus fruits like grapefruits, freshly cut orchard fruits like pears, yellow exotic fruits like pineapples and ethereal white floral spices. More about depth than width here.
Highly energetic on the palate, high acidity and minerality, balance of richness of fruits, body from on lees ageing and touch of VA that adds to the complexity. Exceptional depth and length here.
Reminscent of acidity structure of Francois Cotat and a very young Edmond Vatan. Really great wine here. 94-95 points.
