Description

Sylvie calls this her mauvais garçon, her naughty boy, because the malo-lactic is always difficult to start and slow to finish, because of the wine's low pH. This contributes to the wine's whistle-clean, intense, taut and firm minerality. This is tightly knit and keenly consistent across the palate. The vineyard is a monople of Vougeraie and was first planted with white grapeds by the monks of Cîteaux in 1110.

Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
