Selected by Mövenpick (score 18/20) and widely reviewed by specialty retailers for 2023 Bourgogne Blanc

Tasting Note
Crisp, focused Chardonnay: white peach, lemon zest, wet stone and light brioche with saline, persistent finish. Precision and minerality dominate over overt oak.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Chardonnay, native-yeast fermentation, aged mostly in neutral oak/stainless containers with long élevage to preserve purity.
