2023 Vignobles des Cabottes Clos Saint-Landry, Beaune Premier Cru, France

$160.00

 

A rare Beaune bottling from the historic Bourchard Monopole. This outstanding plot is where the oldest traces of Chardonnay in Beaune were found. Before bearing the Clos Saint-Landry appellation, this 1.98 ha vineyard was known as Tiélandry, referring to a landowner named Landry. It was subsequently owned by the Abbey of Maizières, before Antoine Philippe Joseph Bouchard acquired it in its entirety in 1791. 
Clos St Landry is also one of the first cru to be harvested; date of harvest is critical to preserve the purity of this wine..Clayey limestone on the surface and yellow marl subsoil. The rainwater does not seep into the yellow marl subsoil, but sits in the clay-limestone layer which retains it to provide the freshness the vines require.
20 months in French oak barrels. 30% new oak. The remainder consists of used barrels to 4 wines.
