Chateau de Lavernette 'Vers Chane' Pouilly-Fuisse 2022

Chateau de Lavernette 'Vers Chane' Pouilly-Fuisse 2022 is a highly expressive, biodynamically farmed white Burgundy that elegantly highlights the tension between rich textural weight and electric limestone minerality. Radiant pale yellow in the glass, the nose is wonderfully complex, unrolling a fragrant bouquet of ripe nectarines, fresh white peach, and jasmine blossoms, beautifully balanced by underlying hints of warm brioche, Madagascar vanilla bean, and toasted hazelnut. On the palate, this medium-to-full-bodied Chardonnay reveals magnificent precision and concentration, driving a pure, succulent core of crunchy green apple, lemon curd, and orchard fruit over a rounded, gently creamy mid-palate texture developed from extended lees aging in seasoned oak barrels. Punctuated by an energetic, mouthwatering vein of natural acidity and rocky mineral focus, it culminates in a remarkably long, polished finish accented by a refreshing, elegant twist of lemongrass and wild mint.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with buttery escargots, pan-seared freshwater trout, grilled halibut with citrus glaze, roasted pork chops, or soft, pungent cheeses.
