Winemaking
Grapes purchased from 50yr old vines in the south of Meursault, bordering Puligny-Montrachet
Direct press of grapes directly after harvest, followed by a light settling of 24 to 48 hours before barreling in old oak, with the fine lees for fermentation
Aged for 18 months without stirring or racking. One racking at the end of winter
Light filtration and a tiny addition of SO2 just prior to bottling
Tasting Notes
Generous and concentrated, high quality Chardonnay. Wonderful balance of texture, minerality and purity of fruit. Mouth filling and lengthy with generous acidity
