Cameron Clos Electrique Blanc 2021
The nose of the 2015 Clos Electrique Blanc is perfumed with baked apple, lemon curd, honeydew melon, marzipan and bergamot. An unctuous mid-palate of lemon curd and tart tatine is accompanied by bright acidity and a long, lingering finish. Pour yourself a glass and embrace your fantasy of skipping through a vineyard in Mersault. This wine never disappoints.
The estate vineyard at Cameron Winery consists of approximately 3 acres of Pinot noir, 2 acres of Chardonnay, 0.5 acre of Italian white grape varieties and 1 acre of Nebbiolo. Each block of vines is planted to multiple clones. This technique increases the complexity of the resulting wines as well as giving the vineyard great resilience in the face of various of climatic and biological impediments. The original Pinot noir clones were planted on their own roots in 1984 and over the years, we have added new vines grafted onto American root stock. Most of the Chardonnay clones were planted in 1987 with the addition of some Pinot blanc more recently in an attempt to more truly emulate a classic Burgundian white vineyard.
