Clusel Roche, Champon other_regions_australia Chardonnay from Côte des BlancsFirst bottled separately in 2018, the 2019 Cote Rotie Le Champon comes from an east facing site that Clusel says delivers more concentration but also more freshness. It's an impressive wine this year, with scents of crushed stone, black olives and raspberries on the nose, ample concentration and richness on the medium to full bodied palate and a long, silky textured finish.
