Red wine. Maranges, Burgundy, France. Sustainable. 100% Chardonnay. "The domaine’s vines in the Clos des Gravières were planted in 1997, so by Burgundian standards, they are just now starting to reach a good age. The Bachey brothers’ 2018 Clos des Gravières is excellent on both the nose and palate, offering up a very expressive bouquet of apple, pear, white lilies, chalky soil tones, a touch of almond cream and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a good core of ripe fruit, zesty acids, lovely focus and grip and a long, wide open and succulent finish. This is delicious!" — 91+ Points, John Gilman, View From The Cellar #91 (January/February 2021)
