Product Overview
Winery's Notes
"The Chardonnay comes from 30-year-old vines with south-facing exposures in the Village of Préhy. Soils are Kimmeridgian with alternate layers of limestone and marls containing fossilized marine bodies, and the vines are farmed biodynamically. After harvest, the wine is pressed and fermented using native years in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in tank for 9 months and malolactic fermentation is completed at this time.
Aromatically this wine is tart, with notes of lemon oils and mango skin, as well as a bit of minty herbaceousness. On the palate, there are flavors of honey, tropical fruits just barely ripened, as well as a finish of bracing acidity."
Varietal Composition: Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc (percentages not specified)
Appellation: Chateauneuf du Pape AOC
Aging: 6 months in stainless steel
91 Points - Wine Spectator
"A bright, lifted style, with gardenia and citrus blossoms followed by delicate pear and nectarine. Silky on the palate, with Key lime-laced acidity, savory minerality and pithy bitterness bringing focus to the finish. Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc. Drink now through 2026. 1,500 cases made, 300 cases imported." -KB, 2/28/23
