    The wine

    This Chassagne-Montrachet premier cru comes from a single-hectare parcel of clay and chalk soil. The Chardonnay vines, with an average age of 50, are grown with attentive methods. The fermentation is carried out at a low temperature in order to preserve the Chardonnay’s delicate character. Malolactic fermentation, stirring, and maturation in oak barrels bring a certain complexity to the resulting wine. This is expressed through an aromatic bouquet marked by notes of citrus, exotic fruits, toast and flowers, as well as through a powerful, dense mouthfeel with a salty finish. Age this wine for ten years in the cellar. This will develop a capacity for pairing with flavourful, gastronomic dishes.
