Guiborat
Prisme Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay
Champagne, France
Tight, fresh, and complex. Chalk and salt takes centre stage here, supported by lemon, green apple, orange oil, and brioche notes. Super floral nose that's finely kissed by aldehydic elements, which just highlights how elegant this BdB is. Absolutely adored this. Thanks for the nice discovery, J.
Didn't find much info. This is from Vin Chicago's website: "Richard and Karine Fouquet farm eight hectares in the Grand Cru villages of Cramant and Chouilly. They sell most of their fruit to large houses, retaining a small amount to bottle under their own Guiborat label. While designated as nonvintage, the "Prisme.13" consists entirely of fruit from the excellent 2013 vintage. Disgorged in early 2017, it is replete with high-pitched tension and chalk-themed minerality. The palate is generous and concentrated, giving ripe lemon and yellow apple fruits on the long, complex, nicely textured finish."

Love it when a producer puts alle relevant data on the back label! Especially when the product is so delicious! Great BdB from a small producer in Cramant.

Dec 9th, 2021Great BdB from a Cramant producer. Visited the domaine about two years ago. Still remember their beautiful tasting room literally inside their vineyards. Great and passionate producer which is reflected in their wines.
