2022 Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot Chardonnay Rose Massale

$153.50

Stephane found 20 chardonnay vines that had mutated to give pink-skinned berries, so he made cuttings and planted vines in different plots 20 years ago (early 2000’s). The plots are; La Mailloche (silts and Lias clay), Curon & Valière, with soil consisting of limestone rocks and base, and Les Bruyères & Sauvagny, (moist Trias clay-heavy earth). This is not a rosé; the grapes are treated the same way as white-skinned chardonnay. The 2022 is a powerfully rich and densely concentrated white with a gentle nuance of florality and musk, but very much like a great white burgundy with more grip and muscle.
