Goutorbe Bouillot

Rétrospective 00-14 | Bottle 75cl

Description

This Rétrospective 00-14 cuvée, created by Bastien Papleux, is a blend of the House's wines dating from 2000 to 2014, thanks to a perpetual reserve.

The Chardonnays from the Damery hillsides have been blended into our perpetual reserve every year since 2000. The old wine educates the young, and the new vintages blend with the old, bringing freshness to this cuvée, which is full of tension and depth. Bastien Papleux

The grapes are vinified in wood and there is no malolactic fermentation, fining or filtration. For this edition, 976 bottles were produced on March 24, 2016.

The nose is open, revealing floral and pear aromas, as well as lovely spicy (white pepper) and slightly smoky notes.

On the palate, the attack is supple, then the body of the wine blossoms and the fairly full-bodied texture combines with the delicate freshness of the acidity to give a feeling of serenity. The mouth is round, dynamic, tender, delicate, and warm.

The finish is harmonious, long and structured by a hint of mineral limestone.

This Rétrospective 00-14 cuvée from Maison Goutorbe Bouillot is the perfect accompaniment to salmon or tuna carpaccio, sea bass tartare or oysters in jelly.
