| Review: |
"Julien Mareschal’s chardonnay “Côte de Caillot” bottling is produced from a parcel of forty year-old vines planted on soils of limestone and gravel. The wine is fermented with native yeasts and raised in six hundred liter demi-muids that range from three to six years of age. The 2018 Côte de Caillot is a lovely young wine, offering up a fine aromatic constellation of apple, fresh almond, chalky minerality, beeswax, gentle spice tones redolent of nutmeg and a topnote of spring flowers. On the palate the wine is zesty, full-bodied, focused and soil-driven, with a good core of fruit, excellent focus and balance and a long, vibrant and nascently complex finish. This is already quite tasty, but it is still a young wine and could do with a bit more bottle age to blossom and start to drink with complete candor. Fine juice." |
