Tasting Notes
As good as expected. Butter, citrus, yellow fruits, and hay. Good balance, good volume, medium+ acidity. A slightly creamy palate, yet delicate, backed by minerality and citrus flavours. I didn't have enough time to assess it, so my score might be higher in a less stressful environment.
About
Climat La Colonge comes from a 0.35 ha plot of 35 years old vines from the Pouilly-Loché appellation (the smallest of Mâconnais). Though the real age of the vines is unclear because, unlike the website, the label talks about 45 years. Anyway, vines grow at 200 meters elevation on clay and limestone soils. 100% vinified and aged in oak barrels (228 litres each) for 11 months. 100% malolactic fermented. 2627 bottles produced.
