2020 Damien Martin Macon Verze....$19.99
100% Estate Grown Chardonnay
Full malolactic
Organic but not certified
The 2020 Macon Verzé spent almost a year in tank and a small part in barrel. It has notes of anjou pear, crisp lemon, white flowers, yeasty and honeyed touch. Medium to full-bodied, it's fleshy and elegant with bright acids and a flinty finish. This is a classic Macon.
2020 Damien Martin Pouilly Fuisse...$34.99
The Pouilly-Fuissé vines were planted in 1976 and this parcel of vines is in Vers Chânes in Fuissé. Fermented with indigenous yeasts. Fermented and matured 8 months on the fine lees in 1-4 year old French oak barrels. It’s at the top of the slope and produces a wine that is very rich, with notes of candied fruit and vanilla. This wine could easily pass for a Premier Cru White Burgundy at more than twice the price. Full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, bursting from the glass with a complex bouquet of crisp pear, citrus oil, wet stones, paraffin wax and toasted sesame, framed by a discreet touch of youthful reduction, it's full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with incredible concentration and searing levels of dry extract. Structured and tightly wound, it's seamless and complete, concluding with a long, intensely mineral finish.
