Mikaël Bouges La Pente De Chavigny 2023
 
Mikaël's entry-point white made with 100% Sauvignon Blanc from a mixture of five different parcels, each planted over gravelly limestone. The grapes are direct-pressed, then fermented for a month in fibre glass before being raised in steel for a pristine, bone-dry and whistle-clean style. The fruit is harvested once it has shed those clichéd, underripe grassy green characteristics, and its sharp line of acidity is emphasised by the wine naturally not completing malolactic fermentation. The 2023 vintage marks a return to the style of his 2021 vintage, more rounded than the lean 2022, with pear drops and zippy citrus by the mouthful.
