2021 Blanc de Noirs
In Stock
Blending goals for this inaugural release from 2019 plantings were to have ample richness with added structure from 15% organic estate Sauvignon Blanc. The soil in this block has minimal amelioration of defining topsoil found in upper blocks of L’Acadie Blanc giving it full root contact with our signature ancient seabed rocky gravel strata of schist, sandstone and slate. We expect minerality to further express itself in future vintages as roots dig deep, sheltered from climatic fluctuations.
