Production Details The Chardonnay was harvested manually with selection in the vineyard, carried to the winery in 200 kg boxes in a refrigerated truck, and destemmed. The base wine remained on fine lees until spring. After tirage liqueur was added, the second fermentation proceeded in bottle for 12–14 weeks at a controlled 10–11°C. The producer's shop describes the released wine as having undergone more than 70 months of bottle ageing.
Tasting Notes Bright golden color; fine, integrated bubbles; toasted nuts, butter and grapefruit aromas; cooked-apple and mineral notes; broad, structured and creamy palate with high but balanced acidity; long, elegant finish with bakery and nut nuances
