There’s lots of Chenin between here and Santa Barbara, but there is good reason to traverse all those miles. Of all the sites with which the winery works, Jurassic Park, planted on its own roots on quartz sand atop lime- stone in the late 1970s exhibits the most vintage variation, and small variations create very strong signals in the wine. Some years lean toward the lithe and appley; some towards the exotic; some toward the saline and chalky.
Medium-gold in color. Aromas of key lime, peach, and lemon pith. Medium-full bodied on the palate, with a refreshing acidic grip. Aged in barrel for 12 months before being racked to concrete and stainless steel for an additional 8 months of aging before bottling.
Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru La Boudriotte from Bruno Colin has an intense nose of white fruit, honey and butter. On the palate, the wine is powerful, firm and full of flavour with a perfectly executed mineral finish. This top-class white wine can be aged for several years before drinking.
Simmonet Febvre's Petit Chablis was born in vineyards located in the heart of the prestigious French region of Chablis, in Burgundy. It is produced with 100% Chardonnay grapes, carefully picked and selected by hand. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16-19 ° C. Subsequently the wine ages for 6-8 months on its lees, before being bottled.
The 2012 is quite pale at the present time, with brilliant green highlights. The nose is well-defined and mineral. Still very young and quite elegant, this wine has yet to reveal its full complexity. However, its class already comes through in the mineral and floral aromas released when the wine is swirled in the glass.
Grapes taken from the best parcels, carefully selected; manual harvest in 15 kg boxes, with cooling of grapes and extraction of the must with a very soft whole grape pressing; fermentation in stainless steel vats and French oak barrels, followed by a rest period of 8 months. At the end of the 8 months rest, during the blend preparation, only a small part of the wine is used, after a second selection of the best barrels or vats which will then compose the final blend.
