Côte Chalonnaise, Burgundy, France  - Sustainable, 100% Chardonnay. From 20- and 35-year-old vines planted on clay limestone soils. Fermentation in oak barrel with only natural yeasts used. Aged 14 months in oak cask (20% new). Generous, but not dominant, wood frames notes of pear, white pear, and honeysuckle aromas. An abundance of dry extract adds density to the suave medium weight flavors that terminate in a citrus-inflected, clean, and markedly dry finish. This succulent effort should drink well almost immediately, if desired.
