Lucie
Domaine du Petit Bouchon (Alsace)
Chardonnay • 2021
A timeless Chardonnay cuvee from Domaine du Petit Bouchon, pressed directly, and gently, in an old wooden press before being gravity-fed into 600L barrels immediately for fermentation and elevage. In turn this is a wine of both humility and grandeur, speaking in equal parts to its quintessentially Alsacian clay terroirs but to a Jurassic influence taken from Vincent’s time working with some of Jura’s masters. There’s a broadness and far-reaching approach to the layers in Lucie, with soft fruited edges and a gentle bitterness central to the acidity and structure.
