What makes this wine special?
A Californian Chardonnay that is rich, generous, and balanced by a pleasant acidity that some compare to a ripe Chablis. A lovely discovery from abroad.
More infoTo create this generous Chardonnay, rich in notes of melon, pineapple, apricot, honeysuckle and flint, nicely balanced by a delicate acidity, the domain favoured the fermentation of whole grape bunches. This was followed by a fermentation in barrels (75%) and in stainless steel. The wine was then matured for 14 months in French oak barrels (75% new wood) and in steel vats (25%).
