Domaine de Bellevue, La Justice 2022
Place: Loire, France
Grape: Chardonnay + Savagnin
Vibe: Zesty
A blend you'd usually find a little further north that somehow works remarkably well next to the Atlantic. Chardonnay does the heavy lifting in the fruit department whilst Savagnin brings its searing acidity and further enhances the salty twang. I'm a little lost for words. A wine you'll have to taste to believe. The fact this bottle not only works but excels is a real testament to the skilled hand of Jérôme Bretaudeau. ABV: 12.5 %
