ECHO 2021 (Sylvain MOREY - La Bastide Du Claux)

PLANTING DATES: 1992 / 1997

LOCATION: Poudrière plot, a warm and dry terroir with vital underground water reserves to hydrate the vines. La Rougetière, which yields juicy grapes with preserved acidity thanks to cool high-altitude temperatures. These two plots are situated at 250 and 370 meters altitude, respectively.

EXPOSURE: South-East and East

SOIL:

• At Poudrière, the soil consists of sand dating from the HELVETIAN period, more or less marly or molassique depending on the area. Grape ripening here is exceptionally rapid and optimal.
• At La Rougetière, the soil dates from the QUATERNARY period, resting on the gravel terraces of the Durance river and composed of Cretaceous limestone and flint, red clay loam, sand, and molassique rock fragments.

"Without a doubt, Sylvain MOREY's Burgundian roots shine through in this Chardonnay. Displaying remarkable freshness for a Southern white wine, it offers a lively, vibrant, and deeply thirst-quenching profile. On the nose, lemon, green apple, and white flowers are delicate with subtle toasted nuances. On the palate, the wine is energetic and light, delivering an almost crystalline tension and superb drinkability. A beautifully chiseled and refined white wine!"
