Chardonnay

Situation

Situation: The ‘Les Preuses’ Climat is a gently sloping south/south-west facing terroir overlooking the Grand Cru hillside. The soils are composed of a combination of brown clay-limestone and Kimmeridgian limestone marls resulting in a remarkably pure and mineral wine.

Vinification & Aging

The grapes are harvested by hand. The juices are then settled with precision and fermented in 70% stainless steel vats and 30% oak barrels with a 228 and 500-litre capacity. Fermentation is closely monitored and carried out with precision.

The wine is left to rest on its fine lees for a year during which it is racked twice. The wine is then blended carefully and attentively to create a perfect balance.

Tasting notes

Gorgeous deep green-gold hue.

Expressive nose disclosing notes of rosehip, lemon tree and wild yellow flowers complemented by freshly baked brioche, frangipane and sugared almonds. Mineral notes of wet stones after a storm give way to aromas of ripe lemon.

The palate is full, elegant, bursting with freshness and exceptionally well-balanced. A touch of almond milk coats the palate and gives the wine a distinct creamy feel. Fleeting notes of mint and angelica persist on the incredibly long, complex and pure finish.
