Awards/Ratings
Wine Advocate 90 (William Kelley). Widely praised for minerality, texture and aging potential

Tasting Note
Lively, mineral Chardonnay: pear, ripe citrus, yellow apple, white flowers, subtle pastry and saline chalkiness. Creamy mid-palate with fine acidity and a long, chalky finish.

Food Pairing
Western: crab or lobster, scallops, roasted chicken with cream sauce, aged goat cheese. Asian: sushi/sashimi (salmon), miso-glazed black cod, tempura vegetables, light Thai fish curry.

Production Method
Biodynamic, single-vineyard Chardonnay. Whole‑grape pressing, fermented in foudres/tonneaux and aged 15–18 months on fine lees in used barrels; often bottled without added sulphur.

Vineyard Info
Family domaine since 1834, run by siblings Claude and François de Nicolay. Converted to biodynamic viticulture in the 2000s; holdings across Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and Aloxe-Corton.
