Tasting Note
Crisp, citrus-led white: grapefruit, lime zest, green apple and white flowers with saline, stony minerality, lively acidity and a focused, light-to-medium palate; subtle oak adds tension without weight.

Food Pairing
Western: oysters, grilled white fish, seared scallops, roast chicken with herbs, soft goat cheese. Asian: sushi/sashimi, tempura prawns, steamed white fish with ginger-soy, Vietnamese fresh spring rolls.

Production Method
Hand-harvested Chardonnay fermented largely in older 350L oak barrels (small % new), native yeasts, minimal lees stirring, malolactic completed, then racked to tank.

Vineyard Info
Produced by Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey (PYCM) of Chassagne-Montrachet, a modern benchmark for mineral, precise white Burgundies; farms selected high-altitude Hautes-Côtes parcels (En Creuzilly/Au Bout du Monde).
