Tasting notes
From a great year for whites, this outstanding Chardonnay is a standout. Ripe, honeyed stone fruit with hints of grilled nuts, broad-textured with typical minerality rounding out this classy white. The grapes are gently pressed pneumatically and after settling and an initial racking from solids the fermentation occurs in French oak barrels, followed by maturation on lees for 12 months with occasional batonnage.
Estate
One of Burgundy’s largest wine Domain’s. Its prestigious heritage, which comprises a remarkable Château with a glazed tile roof and 90 hectares of vineyards, is the product of a time-old legacy that is closely tied to the history of the Burgundy wine region. This remarkable château, with its varnished tiles, is a spectacular piece of heritage closely tied to the region’s history. Its vineyards are split between the Côte d’Or and Côte Chalonnaise. The diversity of its ‘climats’ results in a rich palette of wines with distinctive styles that reflect the subtleties of the Burgundy varietals.
