Wine Composition
100% Chardonnay
Winemakers Comments
One for the Burgundy lovers. Light smoky tones with a smooth satin texture. Exquisite complexity with wonderfully dense, ripe, fruit finished with a crystalline and vivacious acidity. Persistent not only on the nose but follows straight through to the last reverberant sip, showing the generosity and rounded texture of a grand cru Chardonnay.

Vinification / Vintage
Chardonnay, a progeny of Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc is responsible for the finest white Burgundy. With the right vineyard site, yields not too high, acid not too low, and winemaking skilled, Chardonnay does produce thrilling, savory, dry, full-bodied wines that will continue to improve in bottle for more than a decade. The wonderfully ideal warm summer of 2018 together with our low yield philosophy produced perfect healthy and flavorful berries with a gentle perfume, ripened to perfection from the 20 year old vines.
