Domaine Pinson Montmain 1er Cru 2022

From vines in the blue clay sector, planted in 1956. Pale colour once again. The bouquet is very classical, faintly reductive with a pure white fruit. Plenty of energy, tightly coiled, with a lifted finish. Very stylish and with fine persistence. Apple and citrus at the finish, I love the aftertaste.

Cool, focused and refined, this balances fruit ripeness with a fine line of acidity and a mineral edge to finish. Not a blockbuster, but very refined and classy. One for relatively early drinking. Possibly better known for its Mont de Milieu, in 2022 the Pinson Montmains runs it close.
