Tasting Note
Ripe orchard and citrus fruits—pear, apple, lemon zest—plus white flowers, toast and brioche. Medium‑full, satiny texture with vivid minerality, balanced oak influence, bright acidity and a long, saline finish.

Food Pairing
Western: oysters, scallops, lobster, grilled or poached white fish, roast chicken, blanquette de veau, soft‑washed cheeses. Asian: sushi/sashimi, miso‑glazed cod, tempura, light Thai or Vietnamese fish dishes.

Production Method
Hand‑harvested Chardonnay fermented (often with indigenous yeasts) and matured ~12–14 months in fine‑grain oak barrels (partial new oak). Minimal intervention, natural malolactic conversion, light or no filtration.

Vineyard Info
Small family domaine near Meursault; Pierre Boisson (son of Bernard Boisson) works biodynamically on selected Côte de Beaune parcels, producing pure, mineral-driven Burgundies.
