Grape: ChardonnayVintage: 2018Type: White Sourced from a historic walled single vineyard in the heart of Chablis, this white wine represents the crown jewel of the estate. The parcel is farmed under strict certified biodynamic viticulture principles, where the old chardonnay vines grow in dense Kimmeridgian limestone soils. Spontaneous fermentation occurs with native vineyard yeasts in neutral containers, prioritizing historical site transparency over modern styling. It undergoes a prolonged maturation on its fine lees for up to twenty-four months before bottling without filtration. It pours a deep gold-straw color, opening with complex aromas of yellow orchard fruit, preserved lemon, and wet stone. On the palate, the full-bodied, structured frame balances a broad texture with a sharp beam of mineral acidity. Savory flavors of fresh lime peel and dried chamomile wrap around a dense mouthfeel. A strong vein of salty salinity cuts right through mid-palate volume, keeping it fresh.
