Product notes

With an alcohol content of 13–13.5%, this is a dry, elegant, round, and easy-to-drink wine. It pairs perfectly with appetizers, fish, seafood, poultry with light sauces, and mild cheeses. Best enjoyed young or within 3 to 5 years.

Production notes

It is pale yellow with greenish highlights. On the nose, it presents delicate aromas of white flowers, apple, pear, and citrus, with hints of honey and walnut. On the palate, it is fresh and balanced, with a medium body, a soft texture, and a slight minerality on the finish.

Tasting notes

A 100% Chardonnay single-varietal wine grown in the Mâcon-Chardonnay appellation (Chardonnay municipality) on clay-limestone soils. Harvesting is done mechanically, followed by pneumatic pressing and fermentation in steel vats at 16–18°C. Complete malolactic fermentation is carried out and aging on fine lees in stainless steel vats until bottling, without using new barrels.
