Domaine Pattes Loup Chablis 2022

A ripe, fresh and attractively spicy nose reflects a variety of both red and dark pinot fruit nuances

Champimonts (or Champs Pimont) is a Beaune Premier Cru on the mid-slope, in the south of the appellation, on limestone soils. The wine is made without chemicals or additives, apart from a very small dose of sulphur

The colour is straw yellow. The nose combines yellow apple, apricot and white flowers, with a touch of spice. The palate is young, juicy and fresh

The 2022 is pale in colour, with a discreet nose of red and black berries, purple flowers and forest floor, plus a touch of cedar. The palate is broad and silky, more powerful than expected, with the ripe fruit of a sunny vintage

Gamay 90% Pinot 10%

The 2022 shows a nose of yellow flowers, quince compote, lemon zest and crushed stone, with a touch of cedar. The palate is rich and juicy, with astonishing density, citrus and white fruit

Clos Rognet is a plot of about 0.45 ha at the lower end of the Le Rognet et Corton climat in Ladoix, just below Faiveley’s Clos des Cortons. The clay-limestone soil is rich in minerals and well drained

The beautifully layered nose offers another small step up in elegance and a large step up in aromatic complexity and spiciness to the essence of red pinot fruit and intense floral influence

An impressively ripe nose that does not display any notes of surmaturité features mostly wild dark berry fruit aromas and ample earth notes
