Domaine de Thalie, Les Pierres Levées 2023

Place: Burgundy, France

Grape: Chardonnay

Vibe: Classic, textural

Chardy from a single vineyard on marl and limestone soils, vinified in steel tanks and aged in a combination of old barrels and clay amphoras for one year. Pretty classic Burgundy terroir over in Bray. Good altitude is important here, as the slopes face west, so cop the afternoon sun. Ripeness and chiselling acidity, a beautiful combination when done right. This is tasty, a go-to for medium-bodied Chardonnay lovers. Fruit purity and fragrance is valued. ABV: 13.5%
