Description
"A discreet but not invisible application of wood is present on the ripe and equally fresh aromas of various white orchard fruit, especially pear, along with a floral top note. The caressing and generously proportioned middle weight flavors possess a caressing mouthfeel that is enhanced by a subtle bead of minerality before terminating in a clean and dry finish that is vaguely tannic. This is quite good for its level." - Allen Meadows burghound.com
"Les Clous Aimé comes from several parcels located on a south-facing slope of Bouzeron's valley, sheltered from summer's north wind during ripening. Our vineyard here is planted with selections of Chardonnay grapes that we have chosen for moderate yields. Its nose is very precise, expressive reminding us, as the Bouzeron did, that thus this wine is vinified and matured in oak foudres. One of the advantages of a foudre is that it focuses the wine on its terroir, gives it a sense of direction during ageing. The palate is also precise, elegant and refreshing at the same time with floral notes enhanced by the sensation of ripe fruit picked at the right time. Its digest side make it accessible from now." - Producer Notes
