Verzenay, Grand Cru, Blanc de Noirs, 2019

First introduced in 2018, the Verzenay cuvée is the product of two old vine plots, one north facing, the other north-west facing, with silex and a quartz dotting the respective soils. This is an electric, bright, tonic Pinot Noir, as you’d expect from this northern village, all nervy and lively and bursting with energy. There’s a steely intensity at the core of this that drives it long across the palate to a laser-like finish. Yellow fruits, fine rock salt, mouthwatering intensity and focus. Glorious. 100% barrel fermented and aged for 48 months sur lie. Dosage 2 grams / ltr.
