    The wine

    The Chardonnay that makes up this cuvée comes from a premier cru characterised by a chalk-rich soil on pebbly land. Maison Joseph Drouhin opts for low yields of around 49 hl/ha to let the grape express the character of its terroir.
    In the winery, the grapes are vinified with great care, a process that includes slow pressing. After clarification, the wine is moved to oak casks (25% new wood) for a year-long maturation.
    We recommend keeping this bottle for a few years in the cellar; it will be at its best in 8 to 20 years’ time. It will then have a lovely, golden colour with a varied and refined bouquet. It carries pleasant notes of white flowers, hawthorn, almond, apricot, candied fruit, and nuts. The palate lingers on a balance of volume and freshness.
    This wine will make for a wonderful pairing with poultry in creamy sauce, a cauliflower gratin, or citrus scallops.
