Hautes Côtes De Nuits, Blanc, Clos Philibert, 2020
Open but concentrated with a lively lime freshness cutting through the nutty and honeyed richness. One of the most crisply-defined high definition Clos Saint Philiberts we have tasted. A well-placed Clos of poor soils sitting in the hills above Echezeaux, facing east/south-east. Fermented in barrel and then aged in a mixture of barrel and steel tank.
critic reviews
Bursting with aromas of crisp Anjou pear, white flowers, pastry cream and orange oil, the 2020 Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuits Blanc Clos St. Philibert is medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with lively acids and a long, saline finish. It's unusually textural and dramatic this year.
The 2020 Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Blanc Clos St. Philibert has a fresh pear and green apple scented bouquet. The palate is well balanced with a ripe orange zest and peachy notes, just a slight soft landing on the finish. Fine.
