The wine's story:
Les Passagers Haut de Val Barmont 2023 comes from a single west-facing plot in Ville-sur-Arce, where the soil is Portlandian limestone.
Compared with Fiole, there is more sun and a warmer microclimate here, giving the wine riper fruit, a rounder texture and a slightly broader profile.
Although the wine remains dry and mineral in style, there is more balance here between acidity and ripeness – this is Clandestin’s “broader” interpretation of Chardonnay.
This wine shows very clearly how much a plot's orientation influences the final result – same producer, same grape, same vinification, yet an entirely different character.
