About This Wine

From very poor Kimmeridgian marl soils with rocks on the surface and a steep 38% south-east slope, this Chardonnay undergoes alcoholic fermentation with natural yeast at 18°C for three weeks, followed by full malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged on fine lees with monthly stirring for eighteen months to build richness, texture and longevity. The élevage contributes to its distinctive oxidative character and long maturation profile.

Tasting Notes

Nose
Traditional mineral notes with depth and developing complexity.

Palate
Fatness and richness leading to a buttered finish with surmatured fruit, showing the influence of poor soils and extended lees ageing.
