Pascal Clément Bourgogne Chardonnay 2020 is a white Burgundy at 12.5% ABV, made from 100% Chardonnay.
The fruit comes from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Chorey-lès-Beaune and Puligny, and the wine was fermented with native yeasts in foudres, where it stayed for a year.
It shows green apple, a touch of wood and wet flint, with a fresh, mineral palate.
Anthony Gismondi and Wine Anorak each rated the 2020 at 91 points.
A bright, food-friendly Burgundy that also suits richer dishes.
Good wine rewards a little care in serving. Whites and rosés show best chilled to around 45 to 50°F, while reds are at their most expressive slightly below room temperature, around 60 to 65°F. Opening the bottle and letting it breathe for a few minutes, or pouring it into a decanter, helps the aromas open up.
