The North block offers more structure, needed to keep that perfect balance in a hot year. Mackenzie Brisebois achieved that balance here, with another epic PEC Chard. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe nose is citrus, orchard fruits and floral. The palate offers great concentration, wonderful precision, and defining legth and minerality. The mid-palate is filled with lime, lemon and yellow apple, while some baked brioche and nuttiness provide more highlights to the profile. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLet's not forget that the additional North block fruit also gives this wine an unmistakable chalkiness from that part of the vineyard. You can sit on this one for half a decade or more until it will hit it's prime window of drinkability.
