Domaine Passy le Clou Beauroy Chablis Premier Cru 2023

HVE-certified Marine Descombe harvests 55-year-old Chardonnay from a single-hectare chablis premier cru Beauroy plot on steep Kimmeridgian slopes. Pneumatically pressed, fermented in stainless steel, then aged 6+ months on fine lees — no oak, no fining. Nose: Hawthorn, acacia, ripe pear, citrus, and flint — expressive, floral, and deeply mineral Palate: Round and concentrated — roasted pineapple, lemon, quince, and vibrant Kimmeridgian chalk minerality Finish: Long, precise, and saline — flinty persistence, citrus oil, and fine acidic tension; drink through 2032 91 pts — Andy Howard MW, Decanter
