Tasting Note
Citrus and white‑flower aromas with green apple, grapefruit and saline minerality. Ripe, rounded palate with subtle baked‑apple, light honey and gentle oak, finishing clean and bright.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Chardonnay from Mâconnais; low‑impact cellar work with limited new oak and élevage in older barrels to preserve fruit and minerality.

Vineyard Info
Produced by Pierre Boisson (of the Boisson-Vadot family) based in Meursault; small family holdings in Burgundy focused on traditional viticulture and restrained cellar intervention.
