Written Notes

Since all of Vilmart’s wines ferment and are matured for ten months in oak barrels, all the wines get a unified, personal character with spicy tones that are reminiscent of Swedish beef stew, boiled mutton with dill sauce, ginger and wood. All of the wine from the second pressing ends up in this wine, which is stored for a slightly shorter time than the other wines. This creates a less sophisticated, younger character. Even so an utterly delicious standard wine with rich flavour. Wonderful when stored, as it turns out. Like an expressive white Burgundy.

Pale, green yellow colour. Fresh, spicy and firm nose with green apples, yeastiness and oystershells. Dry, crisp and mineral palate is refined with lingering finish. Pure and lean. JL 87p (9/9/2020).
