A 100% Chenin Blanc new to the Place de Bordeaux this year. White flowers and grassy notes on the nose; gooseberry, green apple and pear. Crisp and sharp, straight and well defined with a core of high acidity, juicy lemon and lime - thrilling, focussed and textured. A little toasted and youthful still, it needs to shake off its oak cloak, but this has a clean character with precision and clarity and a really lovely juiciness that lifts the expression and gives an element of sweetness too. Lovely. One of three new whites (plus three reds) making their debut on the Place this September. The winemaking project on Versailles land, unsuitable for growing crops, was launched by the team behind Paris' first urban winery, Winerie Parisienne; Adrien Pélissié, Julien Bengué and oenologist Julien Brustis.
