Terroir
Burgundy-Côte Chalonnaise
Grape variety: Chardonnay
Marl or clay soil with limestone predominancy
Vinification
Manual harvest
Vinification in stainless-steel vats and in oak barrels, of which 1/5 are unused
Ageing
At the end of spring when malolactics' fermentation are ended, the cellar master creates a blend to get the oaked feel we're looking for.
Then all the wine is placed in stainless-steel vats where it is fined before to be bottling in September
Colour
Tender yellow with hints of lime-tree blossom
Nose
Seductive white flowers and fresh citrus aromas
Toasted notes coming from the partial ageing in oak
Palate
The vivid note brings some freshness at the first sip
Then, the wine reveals its plumpness, with aromas of grape and hazelnuts
Wines & Food Pairing
The wine will match very well with shellfish, fish, paté and pie
