2023 saw the return of one of Bryterlater's favourite cuvées. After a brief hiatus owing to low yields. Whole bunch pressed and settled overnight. Barrel ferment until desired residual sugar is achieved. Racked by gravity to bottle. The wine then sits on lees in bottle going through autolysis to build the body and direct the flavour profile. The wine is then riddled and disgorged to remove the sediment. Clear. Clean.
It is a great wine to drink. Always great to taste a fabulous chardonnay. Hope you can bring the Domaine Collotte Chardonnay. It will sell like very well in New Zealand. Please advise when it is available.
For this sort of money you could buy a decent NZ chard....but this wine transcends you to a small village to the east of the Rhone on a balmy summers night...once you have been there you will want to go back again and again
Not tasted yet but have been buying this wine from Wine Direct for as long as they have been importing it .....fact is Grand Veneur only make the good stuff
