COte de sezanne |
- a continuation of cote de blanc - seperated by the marshes of saint gond - subsoil here is mostly clay and silt with pockets of chalk and vines oriented towards the southeast - mainly planted with CH (64%) with a fifth going to PM - south easterly aspect lets the wines tend to get riper and be more forward and fruitier than those in the cote de blancs - some say slightly more rustic and less fine - chardonnays appear richer and rounder on these soils - softer and approachable earlier these make useful blending components in the NV - south below cote de blancs |
