Domaine de Bellevue La Justice Savagnin Chardonnay 2021

Tasting Notes

This is made from a parcel of Chardonnay and Savagnin on gneiss soils. The expressive potential of Chardonnay is known. It is a great grape and in this wine you see it's myriad possibilities. It is inflected with Western Loire sea spray yet has some of the buxom flesh seen in Burgundy, additionally it has a salty umami length from Savagnin and altogether it has a mystique, a pull to the senses. This is another dimension altogether - richness, spine tingling acidity and a generosity across the palate that is immersive. A superb wine, if not conventional, it is quite without doubt, exceptional. Meditation.. - Andrew Guard
