2017 Sylvain Dussort Bourgogne Blanc "Cuvée des Ormes”

100% sustainably farmed Chardonnay from 50 year old vines right below the two Meursault lieu-dits of En l’Ormeau and Les Pellans. Extended lees contact imparts richness to the wine, however as batonnage is eschewed, it maintains a firm mineral spine. Aged in all neutral oak barrels 12-14 months. The aromatic profile is delicate, like little lime blossoms, with a gentle kiss of oak spice and brioche. The mouthfeel is clean and calm, with the texture of pear skins.  A super clean representation of this noble grape. Domaine Dussort is a small family domaine based in Meursault.  Sylvain Dussort took over 20 years ago and started farming the estates 30 acres with minimal intervention in order to let the vines express the true character of each vineyard site.
