Bt (750ml)
Stock Location: HK
Tasting note
Planted 1937, plus a few young vines at 15,000 plants. A glowing full yellow with a green streak. Such a stunning intensity, yet with an absolute nobility. What’s the terroir? It appears very noble but you can’t immediately find the famous village to put it in. So much concentration on the palate, amazing stuff with a life and excitement that is hard to describe. White and yellow fruit together, excellent acidity, nothing phenolic because the plant genetics are so good. So too is the lightly ferruginous clay-limestone on which it is grown. Dynamic soil, as acid leaches out of the iron oxide to eat up the limestone and release mineral elements. Nourish the soil, not the plant is Jean-Marc Vincent’s mantra. Drink from 2028-2035. Tasted Nov 2024.
Score: 92-95
