Black Chalk Paragon 2022

This sumptuous Blanc de Blancs displays slight saltiness as well as crystalline citrus fruit. Apple, pear and even some peach notes as well as the ripe citrus, layer on top of each other.

Black Chalk selected only the best Chardonnay clones from their Upper Levels vineyard and chosen particular yeasts like VL1 and CX9, known for enhancing elegance and complexity. Paragon is comprised of 50% stainless steel fermented wine, 50% fermented in Oak Foudre and a minimum of 32 months on lees, gived this wine a sumptuous mouthfeel. With no malolactic fermentation and no fining, their minimal intervention approach allows the wine’s true essence to shine through, with the Chardonnay’s purity being the star of the show. Deeply complex, round and fresh, Paragon lingers on the palate.

Black Chalk is a wine proud of its English heritage, with roots firmly planted in the chalklands of southern England. Black Chalk was used by the old masters to sketch ideas onto canvas before painstakingly creating a masterpiece.
