Tasting Notes
Expect the usual style with the nose showing notes of wood and reduction. Then the intensely mineral-driven broad flavours with plenty of length, not usually austere. It's made to age over the mid-term, but drinking well around 5 years. Our team.
Jean-Charles le Bault de la Morinière of Domaine Bonneau Du Martray poetically said that the 2015 Vintage is a "vintage of the sun though one where our distant star would play different roles at different times. In the spring, the sun jump-started the vines and got the vegetative cycle off to an excellent start; at the beginning of the summer, the intense heat radiated by it made us fear that we might be in for a more difficult time than the spring had suggested; August however would see the warmth and intensity moderate and would serve to perfectly ripen the fruit; lastly, early in September it gave us the perfect conditions under which to bring in a perfectly ripe and clean harvest that began on the 1st and finished on the 7th. Yields for our chardonnay were good if not great at about 32 hl/ha, which is 80% of a normal harvest. Unfortunately they were much lower for our pinot at slightly less than 17 hl/ha or basically 50% of normal. At this point we envision bottling the white in the spring of 2017". - Allen Meadows, www.burghound.com
