France
Burgundy

This clos is not far from the village of Pernand, on calcareous, stony soil. The Croix de Pierre is a large cross at the entrance to the vineyard. Most of the vineyard is planted to Pinot Noir, but this white is made from Chardonnay matured 15 to 18 months in oak barrels.

Tasting Note

A well-balanced, straightforward wine with pleasant aromas of white fruit and oak. It will develop in the bottle for 5 to 10 years.

About the Grape

Chardonnay

Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.
