Crafted from 50 year old Chardonnay vines on the regions infamous limestone and clay soils, this is an intense and classic white Burgundy with yellow fruits on the nose and touches of vanilla. On the palate, there is a creaminess and apple, pear and peach notes. Honey and almond come through on the finish along with a stony, mineral touch. This really shines when paired with seafood like crab and lobster.
