highly stimulating Riesling with lots of energy

Medium to full-bodied on the palate with marvellously silky black fruits and pronouced

the acidity is well judged and there are mouth-coating tannins here - one of the more grippy Echzeaux that I encountered during the vintage

2022 Théo Dancer, Roc Breïa, Chardonnay, Vin de France les-beaux-monts highly stimulating Riesling with lotsThe 2022 Chardonnay has turned out beautifully, bursting with aromas of pear, white flowers, bread dough, and hazelnuts. It is followed by a medium to full bodied, fleshy palate with a satiny attack that segues into a charming, lively mid palate with a good cut and a saline finish. Dancer sold off two thirds of his crop in 2021, but the quality of his raw materials in 2022 should permit a less draconian selection. Drink 2023 2035 William Kelley, Wine
