P. Dubreuil Fontaine Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Crenilles 2022

The label says Bourgogne "Les Crenilles," which obscures the fact that this is Pommard Chardonnay from a single vineyard first planted in 1802. Dubreuil's Chardonnay vines here are 30 years old and grow in highly compact limestone. As with all their whites, Dubreuil's "Crenilles" fruit is hand picked and hand sorted before quick, but gentle, pneumatic bladder pressing. Vinification and maturation was 1/3 in neutral oak barrel and 2/3 in stainless steel vats. This is a Bourgogne Blanc of significance and value, especially knowing that 1 bottle of Chassagne-Montrachet can cost more than 4 bottles of Dubreuil's "Les Crenilles."
