Chardonnay
“Talk about fine terroir and prime real estate: This 100% Chardonnay hails from Fuisse, one of the finest communes in the appellation. The soils on this east-facing, gentle slope are comprised of limestone and clay, with ample rock debris, providing superior drainage. The organically-farmed vines, averaging 36 years age, are tended by Mathieu's longtime friend Jean-Michel, and are severely pruned to limit yields, hand picked, and reflect a completely natural terroir - no spraying or artificial anything. The fruit is bladder pressed into 100% steel then flows by gravity to be finished in cement vats. The bouquet is open and generous, with quartz, minerals, baskets of Meyer lemons and white flowers. The palate is fresh, alive and pure "back-to-the-future" Chardonnay from Burgundy.”
