Description
Hailed by The Drinks Business as the #1 Chardonnay in 2020, this wine rivals nearly any Grand Cru white Burgundy in quality but at a much friendlier price. Its silky texture envelops a core of fresh citrus, toasted oak, peaches, apples, and a saline note. We’re thrilled to sell this rare and exclusive wine, which is normally offered to collectors only once a year.

This white wine exhibits aromas of lemon, lily, white truffle and vanilla, which are tantalizing with lemon, tree fruits and saline flavors. Luscious texture and balanced, bright acidity.
