- An elegant and refreshing Chardonnay, it has lifted citrus, stone fruits, and floral aromas that lead to a beautifully balanced and creamy palate with a subtle touch of oak spice.
The grapes were carefully sorted to vinify only the top-quality fruit from this artisanal producer. Fermentation took place with natural yeast to retain the authentic character from the vineyard. Maturation in 350-litre French oak barrels, of which 15% were new, lasted 10 months and imparted lovely weight, texture and lees complexity to the cuvee.

Winery | The one-hectare vineyard is based in Meursault at an elevation of 320 metres above sea level and 200 metres from the renowned terroir of Puligny Montrachet. The vines are planted in clay-limestone soils; the clay element has good water retention properties and helps to nourish the vines throughout any dry spells during the ripening period, while the limestone imparts the characteristic elegance. The vines are trained according to the Guyot method, which limits the vine's lignified growth to the trunk, so the vine is less susceptible to frost. The climate is typically continental, with cold winters and hot, dry summers, and the area can be vulnerable to spring frost. The vines are meticulously cultivated following a sustainable approach, traditional ploughing takes place in lieu of chemical preparations, and the grapes are hand-harvested at optimum maturity. |
