Product Description:
The wine is crystalline and energetic, with aromas of ripe pears and flowers. Seductive and refined, this complex white wine is superbly balanced. Delicate citrus notes balance a fine texture. Its impressive youth should yet improve.

Vinifikation Cold and very wet conditions prevailed during flowering and fruit set in late 2021, pushing the start of the harvest season further and further back. However, the ripening period in January 2022 was among the warmest and driest conditions recorded in the past seven years; rainfall during this period was atypically low, allowing for a long and healthy ripening of a concentrated crop. Minimal disease pressure and dilution led to the production of excellent quality fruit, expressing full phenolic ripeness and refreshingly low natural sugar accumulation. A systematic evaluation of the indigenous yeast population of our Chardonnay vineyards yields promising results: 40% of the barrels of this wine finish fermentation without inoculation. Spontaneous fermentation, supported by a late inoculation with organic natural yeast, is responsible for the rest of the alcoholic conversion. 8% were fermented and aged for 9 months in amphorae, the remainder in French oak. Finding a calm bottling day while harvest begins can prove difficult, but the extra time in tank proves worthwhile. Bottled with light filtration in February 2023.
