100% Chardonnay.

Pale gold in colour.

Very expressive nose reminiscent of ripe white-fleshed fruit and citrus.

Fresh and mineral, delectable on the palate with intense tangy flavours of grapefruit and passion fruit. Soft and round on the finish. Both of the terroirs truly shine through in this highly expressive wine.

Perfect as an aperitif, or to accompany an entire meal, light starters, deli meats, white meats, crustaceans and grilled fish, fresh cheese, or to take along on a picnic

Drink ideally at a temperature situated between 12 and 14°C. (54-57°F.).

In good storage conditions, this wine can be kept for about 3 to 5 years.

80% of the selected grapes were grown predominantly on the gentle limestone slopes of the Yonne department, renowned for the production of the iconic Chablis appelation, and 20% on the lower slopes of southern Burgundy, which produces great, supple, silky whites such as Pouilly-Fuissé AOC.

The Chardonnay grape variety is most likely of Burgundian origin. It is in Burgundy’s northernmost regions that it best expresses itself. It is the leading high-quality grape variety and is widely planted in all the vineyards of north-eastern France where it is also called “Beaunois” in Chablis, “Plant de Tonnerre” in the Yonne, and “Pinot Chardonnay” in the Mâconnais. It has long been considered the white form of Pinot Noir, which can be explained by the coexistence of these two high-quality varietals in the vineyards of Burgundy. Chardonnay is the only grape variety used to make the great white wines of Burgundy.

- Rapid fermentation lasting 7 to 10 days in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures (18°C).
- Selected strains of yeast from these two terroirs are used.
- Malolactic fermentation is sought after for the smoothness and aromatic complexity it gives to the wine.
- Aged briefly on the lees for softness without detracting from all of the fruitiness of the Chardonnay grape
