Jean Velut Lumiere et Craie

Description

Initially a coiled spring of a wine. It releases all sorts of fresh notes; apple, white flowers and spice. The mid palate delivers a warm, chalky richness and then a fabulous bitter lemon note kicks in creating a tense, rich experience. House Profile One of the very few producers in the village of Montgueux and for us, one of the very best. He works with 7.7 hectares of mostly Chardonnay creating a playful style of wine that flirts with oxidation. Their wines charm from the outset and their Lumiere et Craie is a fascinating wine made from reserve wines, (does not have a “base year”). Creamy, layered and complex.
