Chantal Lescure 2022 Cote de Beaune "Clos des Topes Bizot" Blanc

"Le Clos des Topes Bizot" is a unique spot, high on the slope in Beaune just above the 1er Cru "L'Ecu," facing east, in a terroir of clay and pebbles over limestone. Harvested by hand into small crates, slow fermentation (4 to 8 months) with wild yeasts, 15 month élevage in barrel without battonage, 10% new. The Clos de Topes Bizot is chuck full of minerality, some salinity, and a mix of white flowers and tart lemon rind. The wine is elegant with brightness galore. It has a medium body with a high tonned, long finish. Perfect alongside raw or poached seafood, roasted poultry.
