Tasting notes
100% Chardonnay. Positioned on the highest terroir of the domaine at 500m altitude in soil of clay-limestone composition. Manual harvest and partial destemming of 30%, fermented in barrels and aged on lees for 12 months. The limestone shines through the wine, with flinty notes balanced with cool minerality and yellow citrus fruits.
