France
Burgundy

Located on the western edge of the Côte de Beaune, the vineyards of Saint-Aubin consists of two areas of distinct mesoclimate: one exposed to the south and southeast on chalky limestone soils and the other with a cooler, more eastern exposure on soils with more gravel and clay. The Chardonnay grapes are fermented and matured in oak barrels for a total of 12 months before bottling.

Tasting Note

With characteristic aromas and flavors of hazelnut, peach and oak, this medium-bodied wine’s fine balance is aided by fresh acidity. It will develop in bottle for five to eight 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.
