Production Details Plot-selected, controlled-yield Chardonnay from Les Plantes in Écueil; the producer describes the well-exposed, mid-slope site on clay-limestone soils with the date 1993, without explicitly labeling that date as the planting year, and reports grassing every other row. Vinification was followed by two years of maturation in 350 L oak barrels; production comprised 250 numbered bottles. Guide Hachette recommends serving at 8–9 °C.
Tasting Notes Subtly buttery, oaky, floral and vegetal nose; supple, fairly generous palate balanced by fine acidity.
Critics Ratings Guide Hachette des Vins 2025: 1 star (very successful wine)
