Chardonnay from a small selection of sites near the center of the village. Yields are kept low to ensure only perfectly healthy, ripe fruit make it into the final wine. Like the domaine's other wines, grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in neutral oak barrels before being racking into barrique for aging, with a minimum of 10% new.
A classic white Burgundy nose of bright lemon curd, crisp apple, subtle spice and a touch of hazelnut. There is serious concentration, depth and tension on the tightly-coiled palate, as salty minerals mingle with laser sharp citrus fruit and luxurious textures. A wine that defies its simple classification.
