With a nice golden color, this wine develops greedy white fruit and citrus aromas with some toasted notes. On the palate, there is a nice freshness but also a lot of suppleness. This wine is salivating!
ORIGIN This ‘vast’ appellation brings together four great regions; Yonne to the north, with its fresh, mineral wines, followed by the Côte d’Or, with its rounder, deeper whites, the Côte Chalonnaise with its pleasant wines, and lastly the Mâcon region to the south, with a range of styles varying with the individual soil and exposure.
VITICULTURE Grape variety: Chardonnay Soils: clay-limestone Orientation: mostly southeast / south Average age of the vines: 25-45 years old.
VINIFICATION The grapes were handpicked and collected in 20-kg perforated crates. At the winery: The whole bunches of grapes were gently pressed for 2½ hours. The temperature of the must was brought down to 12°C then was immediately transferred to barrels with no settling to preserve a maximum of lees. Very long fermentation using indigenous yeasts.
AGEING Maturation: aged for 6 months with no racking or stirring to bring out all of this wine’s minerality. A proportion of 10% new gently toasted French oak barrels were used for very delicate oaking. Barrels: French oak barrels that had been toasted at low temperatures for a long time to impart a subtle, delicate touch of oak were used.
