Crisp, mineral-driven Chardonnay with lemon, green apple, honeysuckle, subtle gunflint and light toasted-oak notes; saline, focused finish and elegant texture.

Parcels from the Côte d'Or (notably Meursault and Puligny); hand-harvested, barrel-fermented with limited new oak and aged on lees (10–12 months), with partial malolactic transformation.
