The 2021 Blanchot is every bit as refined and promising as the Valmur. The nose offers up a beautiful blend of pear, golden delicious apple, lemon blossoms, limestone minerality, beeswax, a touch of anise, a whisper of vanillin oak and a topnote of lemon zest. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and shows off excellent depth at the core, with fine soil signature, vibrant acids and great length and grip on the well-balanced and complex finish. 2028-2075.
A more elegant if more restrained nose reluctantly offers up its aromas of markedly citrus-infused Granny Smith apples, mineral reduction and oyster shell that are trimmed in subtle wood toast. There is laser-like delineation to the intensely stony medium weight flavors that culminate in a palate staining, youthfully austere and equally persistent finish. While this could use more depth, this is beauty is so packed with upside development potential that more will almost assuredly develop. Note: from a .65 ha parcel of very old vines of indeterminate age Drink: 2033+
