Description
2020 Eric Forest ‘Le Clos des Charmes’ Mâcon-Vergisson – Rare Old-Vine Burgundy Chardonnay
Experience the elegance of Burgundy with this limited-production Chardonnay from Eric Forest’s historic monopole vineyard. Sourced from 90+-year-old vines in the prized Mâconnais region, this 2020 vintage delivers exceptional depth and complexity, praised by Decanter for its “racy, refreshing character” with vibrant citrus and mineral notes.
Why This Wine Stands Out:
– Century-Old Vines: Grown in a unique south-facing clay-marl plot, these ancient vines yield concentrated flavors of white peach, beeswax, and warm spices.
– Critically Acclaimed: Rated 90 points for its balance of freshness and richness, with a flinty nose and layered palate.
– Rare & Artisanal: Frost damage in 2019 slashed production to just 1,300 liters, making this bottle a collector’s find.
Tasting Notes:
Aromas of ripe yellow fruit and brown spices lead to a textured, full-bodied palate—classic white Burgundy with vibrant acidity and a lingering finish. Perfect for pairing with roasted poultry, creamy seafood, or aged cheeses.
Details:
– Region: Mâcon-Vergisson, Burgundy
– Alcohol: 13.5%
– Vineyard: “Le Clos des Charmes” monopole (exclusive to Eric Forest)
