2020 Dubreuil Chardonnay, Vin de France (6 x Bottle)
Tasting note
The 2020 Chardonnay has a lilting, fresh nose with Williams pear, yellow plum and light gravelly scents. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, taut and fresh with a vibrant, sour lemon-tinged finish. Delightful.
Our thoughts
Since its founding in 2002 by the forward-looking Benoit Trocard, Clos Dubreuil has carved out something of a cult following as a boutique producer following an innovative path. Today owned by Texan Ralph Eads and run by the renowned winemaking consultant (and former head of Bordeaux’s Union des Grands Crus) Alain Reynaud, it produces a Chardonnay bottling which, given the variety, has to be labelled as Vin de France. Don’t let that put you off, though – this is a sophisticated rendering, made in the old-school Burgundian manner, with barrel-ferment and oak ageing, from the Dijon clone of the grape. The wine is on the lists of several top-end French restaurants, and we are delighted to have procured a small allocation.
