Maison Pascal Clement Bourgogne Blanc 2022
(Burgundy, France)

About the Producer:
Pascal Clement was born in the village of Savigny-les-Beaune to a family of growers, where his father founded the Maison in 1950. After over 20 years as a grower and winemaker in the region – including his time at legendary Domaine Coche-Dury in Meursault - he launched his own micro-négoçiant project in 2012. The wines live in a stunning building built in 1850 with a splendid arched cellar, housing 200 barrels. Pascal works with fifteen farmers / vineyard owners with vineyard holdings across Burgundy, personally selecting and tending the plots he chooses to work with.

VINEYARDS | From East-West oriented vineyards including Savigny-les-Beaune and Puligny on the alluvial plains of the Côte de Beaune with primarily marl limestone soils. A small percentage of Macon is also included in the blend.

WINEMAKING | Primary fermentation in 3500L foudre followed by aging in French puncheon (450L)

WINEMAKER TASTING NOTES | A pure, clear crystalline gold in colour with green highlights; hazelnut notes underlie accents of honey, butter, nuanced with fern, spices and tones of white flowers (hawthorn, acacia) and flint. To the palate, an aromatic wine, fine but not light, full-bodied but not heavy, smooth and firm, dry and tender, rounded and rather intense, little structure but persistent.
