Chardonnay Montrachet France
From a single hectare of Chardonnay, planted to vines fifty years of age. Champ Canet is one of seventeen climats at Puligny Montrachet with the exceptional classification of a Premier Cru vineyard. It was in the very village of Puligny that Etienne Sauzet established himself as one of the most significant names in Burgundy. His vintages were remarkable for their purity of fruit and marvelous expression of soil. Today, the Chardonnays of Puligny Montrachet and Domaine Sauzet are amongst the most highly sought and revered wines in the world.
The quality of wine from Champ Canet is ultimately determined by microclimate and terroir. The soils can be very calcareous and quite pebbly, vines struggle to make their fruit as they grow long roots to forage for their water. Grapes are treated to a pneumatic press and cold settled at 10C to 12C for up to twenty four hours. The musts are vinified at 18C to 22C for three to six weeks in a selection of new and seasoned Troncais and Allier French oak barriques. The wines complete their malolactic and remain in barrel for eleven months through a course of battonage on gross lees before transfer to tank for a further term of six months on fine lees. The finished wine is bottled after a light fining and filtration.
Golden buttery hue. An attractive nose of orchard stonefruits, cocoa and cream, sweetly pungent dried florals and fragrant new oak characters. Generous and mouthfilling with expressions of hazelnut and dried citrus, a dense, fully fleshed palate exhibiting tensile minerality over a wonderful balancing act of developed old vine fruit characters and lithe apple acids. Elegant and poised with a lingering finish to notes of pith and almond, minerals and spice.
