Arbois Chardonnay Rose Massale 2022 Bénédicte et Stéphane Tissot

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (91)

From four vines of pink Chardonnay that Tissot found planted on one hectare in his vineyards, he produced the 2022 Rose Massale, which shows larger and less reductive than some years. Not all 2022s Chardonnays are in bottle. It's going to be a more immediate vintage of rounder wines with more ripeness and less acidity. Whereas 2021 was a complicated year for the variety, but the results were very good. The Pink Chardonnay is a little more aromatic, and this year, it's a little more exotic but keeps the freshness, poise and balance.
