Le Mont Aimé Coeur de Terroir 1er Cru
Chardonnay sourced from the limestone, flint, and silex soils of Le Mont Aimé, a south-facing site east of the commune of Vertus. Out of Pascal’s parcels, it is a cooler microclimate. Natural ferment partially in enamel and neutral oak with a minimum of 9 years on lees and a low (or no) dosage.
Tasting Note: Aromas of lemon, yellow apple, pear, and ginger with hints of marzipan, brioche, camomile, wet stone, and almond on the nose. Rich with fine structure on the palate, a juicy orchard fruit core with layers of mineral and spice, racy acidity, a fine mousse, and great length on a saline finish.
