Nose
Tements 2020s Morillon shell limestone is characterised by its very own character. It is composed of an aroma of fresh as well as mellow apples with peel, pears, carambola and ripe lemons as well as a slightly exotic note, which is accompanied by smoke, some lime and gooseberry.
Palate
On the palate the Morillon Charmingly fresh and juicy with an elegant acidity and a buttery texture. Delicacy and elegance play the main role here, but are supported by power and meatiness. Silky and finely woven, this is a wine whose fruit is composed of white-fleshed fruit, a light green citrus and white berries. It is a Chardonnay that already appears coherent and harmonious now, but definitely has potential for another ten years.
