HERMANN J. WIEMER STANDING STONE BLANC DE BLANC 750ML 2020

Vibrant and very elegant, this has terrific lemon blossom and candied lemon aromas on the sleek, barely medium-bodied palate. Driving freshness in the extremely long, laser-focused finish. A touch of red berry fruit develops in the glass. From vines planted in 1974. Drink or hold.

Sourced from Chardonnay originally planted in the 1970s by Charles Fournier for Gold Seal, Wiemer's 2020 Blanc de Blanc Standing Stone is fresh, citrusy, lean and crisp, with a dosage of just two grams per liter. Disgorged after 42 months on the lees, it shows a pale straw hue, fine bead and an almost-creamy mouthfeel, but it finishes zesty and refreshing.
