Domaine Bruno Clair - Marsannay White 'Source des Roches' White 2022

Grape

100% Chardonnay

Tasting notes

This looks likely to be the last vintage for Sources de Roches, as the various plots will be separated out into single vineyard bottlings as of 2023 – good news for all the lovers of single vineyard Marsannay Blanc out there! As a swansong, this offers up a good deal more crisp intensity than the straight Marsannay Blanc, with a salty edge cutting into silky flowing white fruits and lemon zest. Lip smacking stuff.
