Domaine des Pothiers La Colline En Flamme Chardonnay 2021
Details
For the sake of quality and respect for the environment and the consumer, the vineyards are cultivated in organic and biodynamic culture.
Golden yellow. Apricot and white peaches with jasmine on the nose. Fresh and minerally, fruit-forward.
Candice Chow | 18.5/20 Points "Bright, yellow with a gold sheen, slightly lighter edged. The bouquet is softly penetrating stonefruit, citrus, white blossom and a hint of mineral. Medium-bodied, the palate is mineral-driven, entwined with white peach, lemon and pink grapefruit, rich white floral enriched the presence along with graphite. The palate is crisp and crunchy, reflects acid tension and mineral textured mouthfeel. The fruit is pure with balanced ripeness and acidity. This is a neat Chardonnay with pure fruit expression, rich floral and a crunchy mineral line. Match with butterfish and pork dumplings over the next 3 years."
Phil Parker | Outstanding "Lightly oaked in a Chablis style. Soft acids, with stone fruit, pear and funky yeasty tang – with a crisp, dry finish."
12% ABV.
Vegan, Organic.
The Roannaise coast is a vineyard of the Loire Valley located furthest south, not far from the source of the river. The Pothiers vineyard is just over 230 hectares, planted on the best granite hills between 400 and 500 meters altitude. The Pothiers family has been on this land for centuries. Vines occupied most of it and some cows were raised on the plots that were too wet for vine cultivation. The most recent generation has been making a shift toward biodynamic practices in the vineyard and the results are paying off.
