A delicate and distinguished fine wine, green-gold in color. The local soil favorsharmonious development of the Chardonnay aromas with notes of citrus, hazelnut, toasted almond and mineral notes. Complex and luscious.
Remarkable power big structure & grandiose richness built to please. Strong minerality, thanks to the limestone &schist terroir, & a deep complexity from the cool & slow ferment (often lasting several years) on native yeasts... Chris Santini
Chardonnay Les Grandes Coutures is from 3 plots bordering Meursault with vine ages from 15 to 51 years. Soils are predominantly argile (clay), bringing weight & texture to this Bourgogne Blanc. The wine was aged from 12 to 14 months in 15-20% percent new
Wood aging in large and small barrels has given this ripe, young wine extra richness. With its full spice and touches of yellow fruits the wine should age well.
Bright lemon yellow in colour, with vibrant aromas of citrus fruit and honeysuckle. The medium-bodied palate shows lovely purity of lemon and mineral flavours, balanced by riper peach and pear fruit and a lifted acidity on the elegant finish.
