Dinner at Val’s.
“Two plots in Perrières-Dessous, old vines, which still deliver well. Mulched to avoid ploughing. 30% new wood. Pale colour with a little yellow. While not expressing the detail, the bouquet demonstrates the characteristic and necessary weight of fruit. The body fleshes out further on the palate. This is an excellent example and held up by a very good thread of acidity. There is a fine length of flavour too, very promising.” JM 95 — 4 years ago

@Delectable Wine this is bottled by Pierre Brisset from purchased fruit in the Coteaux Bourguignons. It’s called “Les Dessous” Chardonnay and is Vin de Bourgogne. Thanks!
Nose is rich and ripe with some elegant, buttery and oaky notes plus green apple and pear. The palate is rich, oaky and fresh. Juicy and mineral. A tremendous value. Won’t sell it as it’s too cheap and for France only but for the money it’s tremendous. As it airs the oak integrates more and the energy is terrific. 9.0 now from 8.9. — a year ago
