2017 Chandon Barrel Selection Yarra Valley Meunier

A very interesting covering letter from Thomas Remigercau says ‘I’m not a winemaker, but I am a wine lover. The winemakers let me loose in the vineyard and cellar to learn... to make wine.’ We learn that he is Chandon’s senior cellarhand, and the vines are 30yo. The wine’s bright crimson colour is the right start for a powerful, oak-framed red cherry/berry fruit and multi-spice bouquet and palate. It will age with certainty and grace. 13.5% alc.
