Tasting Notes
This Chardonnay is mineral-infused with a higher toned citrus element. A little retained petillance- the energy partly due to that. Modestly touched with tannin and with great intensity of flavour. Long finish. Some ageing potential here!

Vineyards: Rully vineyards stretch for about four kilometres from Chagny where it has a few climats, to the southern limit of the Rully commune where it adjoins the Mercurey vineyards. This area has a remarkable limestone terroir with enough marl and clay for the Chardonnay grape variety to have found its land of choice.
Winemaking: Slow and gentle pressing, and then fermentation in tuns and 450l barrels under temperature control. Elaborated in tuns and in barrels for twelve to 15 months and then 1 month of flavour maturation in stainless steel vats.
