Jolie Laide 2022 Chalone Melon De Bourgogne

This is a dramatic high desert site in the Gabilan Mountains neighboring Pinnacles National Park. South facing slope, 1800 ft elevation, situated just beneath an extinct volcano with decomposed granite and limestone soils. Whole cluster pressed to concrete eggs where it underwent spontaneous fermentation. Chalky oyster shell, lemon verbena and citrus blossom with mouthwatering acidity. Winery Notes
