Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2021 La Tour de Curon Chardonnay comes from a superb terroir with a high content of limestone, and the wine is also faintly reductive but in a different way from the other Chardonnay, more mineral, salty and original. In this catastrophic vintage for yields but very good for quality, he only got two 228-liter barrels from the 0.72 hectares of the vineyard. The wine is more concentrated and with higher alcohol, possibly from the short pruning and no trimming, but the wine is also consistently lower in pH and higher in acidity, higher pitched. This is, year in, year out, his best Chardonnay.

Description

Produced by the renowned Domaine Stéphane Tissot, this wine stands out for its quality and distinctive character. Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, Clos de La Tour de Curon benefits from a unique terroir and meticulous vinification. The vines are grown in plots with a rich composition of calcareous soils, which bring a remarkable minerality to the wine.

Winemaking
