Les Champlains Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay
Burgundy, France
2022/8/28-30. I understand this contains at least some amount of Pinot Beurot. This starts out reminiscent of bruised apple cider - there’s a bit of a burnished, earthy, oxidative note. There’s plenty of intensity and personality, but for a while it seems a little rough and ready. It’s only on the second day, towards the end, and at a higher temperature than you’d think would work, that more elegance, minerality and depth are revealed. Fascinating.
