Enthusiast White / White
Wine 1: La Font de L'Olivier, Côtes de Thongue Grenache Blanc
The grapes for this wine are all sustainably farmed, using organic practices. They are all hand harvested. The grapes are also night-harvested, to ensure that they do not oxidize before they make it to the winey. The grapes are press, then fermented in tank. This wine is aged exclusively in tank, and spends no time in oak. Tasting Notes: This wine is truly a testament to Bruno’s ability as a winemaker. If not properly cared for Grenache Blanc can produce flat uninteresting wines. In Bruno’s hands, Grenache Blanc is mineral, expressive, and complex. This wine is full of bright minerality, complemented by tropical citrus fruit flavors. It is ideal for shellfish, grilled seafood, or simply on its own as an aperitif.
Wine 2: Lemelson Pinot Gris
In warm years like 2023, Chestnut Hill Vineyard produces some of our very best wines. As our coolest, highest elevation vineyard, we are able to make “cold climate” wines that defy the warmth of the vintage. The 2023 Chestnut Hill Pinot gris is a great example of this. 10% of this Pinot gris was fermented and aged in neutral French oak barrels with the balance in stainless steel. The resulting wine is classy and focused. Beautiful white peach notes greet the senses along with honeysuckle, ginger, candied lemon, honeydew and river rock. The acidity is laser focused and elongates the wine’s fresh and round finish making it a powerfully versatile food wine.
