Quite a bit of Sebastien’s know-how for Chardonnay goes into this wine: whole cluster press, barrel fermentation, 50% malolactic fermentation, no lees stirring, resting six months in puncheon barrels (1000L in size), 10% new … It’s a 5-6 barrel selection of wines and it has a richness and spiciness about it that makes it interesting along with peach, apple and pear fruit that keeps it interesting and palate friendly without being overblown, blousy or weighted down … plus there’s a beautiful long finish.
