Clos de la Perrière Blanc 1er Cru

France
Burgundy
2021

A very special and rare white from the Côtes de Nuits. A half a hectare is planted with Chardonnay within the Clos de la Perrière, in the areas with the most limestone. The vines were planted in 1990. Spontaneous fermentation happens in stainless steel and the wine is aged in mostly neutral barrels. Lightly fined and no filtration.

"The 2021 Fixin Blanc Clos de la Perriere ler Cru, which comes from 0.5 hectares of vine and is aged in 25% new oak, is similar to the bottle that I tried last year at the Domaine. Yellow fruit on the nose with touches of beeswax and dried honey . this opens nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, taut and fresh with a twist of sour lemon on the finish. It's not a long-term white, but it has plenty of character."
