Guiborat 'Prisme' Grand Cru 2019

Guiborat's Prism is all about chalk. A rich, racy and layered Chardonnay with breadth and length, and a myriad of complex aromas and flavors for the true Cote des Blancs lover.92pts VinousThe NV Extra Brut Blanc de Blancs Prisme Grand Cru (2019 base) is terrific. I admire its dynamic energy and verve, both of which are on full display. White pepper, chalk and mint cut through a sizzling core of Côte des Blancs fruit. The blend of sites in Chouilly and Cramant works so well here. This release is based on 2019, with 17% reserve wine blended in from the previous year's release. Dosage is 2.5 grams per liter. Disgorged: November 2023. - By Antonio Galloni on March 2024Dosage: 2.5 grams/literDisgorged: November 2023Varieties: 100% ChardonnaySoil: Deep chalkVine age: Up to 50 years oldVineyard: Blend of three Grand Cru Côte des Blancs parcels: 22% Cramant "Les Bergeries" (planted in 1984). 45% Chouilly "Les Caurés" (planted 1998 and 2005). 16% Chouilly “Les Mont Aigu” (planted in 1969).
