The Wine:
The Chenaults climat is located west of the village and occupies a mid-slope position with a full southern orientation. The clay-limestone soils are rich in marl, providing lovely balance between tension, enveloping texture, chewy phenolics and spicy lift. To accentuate the site’s limestone freshness, Juillot raises three-quarters of this cuvée in stainless steel vat. It’s a bright, generous Burgundy packed with golden orchard fruit, sappy pine-like freshness and some iodine and almond complexity. You can expect a layered, fleshy palate—with nice volume but no fat—pulled taut by citrus freshness and a kick of peach blossom and bitter orange peeping through on the finish.
