100% Chardonnay from two parcels in Bouzy (Le Mont de Tours and Les Ramonnieres) and Grauves—all vineyards on limestone/clay soil. Primary fermentation and élevage in stainless steel with no malolactic conversion. The wine was blended with 20% reserve wine from 228L French oak barrels for bottle aging and secondary fermentation, 3g/L dosage.

Pale golden yellow with a delicate, fine bead. Lovely aromas of pastry dough and Golden Delicious apples—think freshly baked streusel. The palate vibrant and tart with flavors of Granny Smith apples and lemon peel. Focused with elegant texture and length, beautifully balanced with a hint of grapefruit, spice and chalky mineral on the finish.
