Friday, April 26, 2024 - Clairette (studio): 2/10. 55-60° F. In 445 days this has shed virtually all sensations of fermentation (esters/lees) and exposed a comfortable degree of balsam and oak. Burgundian cultured pear/starfruit, red apple skin tannins, and lunging acidity animate the event. The texture is dense, waxy, mineral-transparent, and fresh.
Served in sequence between Clairette blends Martin Texier's 2021 La Rouviere and Simone's 2014 Palette Blanc from magnum.
