Vertus Coeur de Terroir 1er Cru
Chardonnay from Pascal’s best plots in the chalky and clay soils mid-slope of Vertus, these include the lieux-dits Barrilliers, Nuisats, Vieille Voie, Corvees, Grange, au Bar, and Les GruesIt. Natural fermentation in neutral oak and steel tanks. 10 years on lees with a 3.5g per litre dosage with MCR (a non-caramelized glucose & fructose syrup made using grape juice from authorized wine grapes).
Tasting Note: Aromas of apricot, pear, apple, lemon, ginger with hints of white pepper, mint, brioche, and salted butter on the nose. Rich with great finesse and depth on the palate, a good core of orchard & citrus fruit layered with caramel, vanilla, butter notes, fresh acidity, a soft creamy mousse, long on a mineral finish.
