Bourgogne Blanc 2016/2018, Clos-du-Château, Domaine de Montille32. 95 per bottle New 2018 vintage ABV 13% Tasting notes The 2018 Clos du Chteau matures in just 5% new 600 litre and 500 litre barrels, has a potent bouquet with white peach and vanilla aromas, quite forward and very attractive. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, lightly spiced with pear and hints of gooseberry on the taut and linear finish. Maybe the best I have encountered from the five hectare clos.

perhaps more Pauillac than Saint-Julien

While other estates strive to make wines with this level of gravitas most fall well short of the mark

they would benefit from pooling together their vineyards and knowledge to create one Bodega focussed on creating high quality Rioja`s

This wine will pair nicely with roast chicken

The range was introduced in the 1980’s under the name ‘Reserve de Barons’ at the request of friends and family

Clear and pale

The malolactic fermentation gives the wine suitable for mature aged in American and French oaks
