L&C Poitout, Bourgogne Tonnerre, 2023

Type: White

Format (ml): 750

Vintage: 2023

Grapes: Chardonnay

A stone's throw from Chablis is the Tonnerre region, and it's no poor neighbour. This pale straw golden tonic offers up clouds of aroma, think ripe pears, nectar and stone-fruit. Kimmeridgian minerality comes up as oysters shells and slate on the palate, and the dry finish zinging with fresh acid is a winner. This is good to drink now, or in the next few years. Absolute cracker.
