Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
Medium straw yellow.
Nose
Restrained and stylish. A fine interplay of bright fruit, subtle notes of chalk and a delicate creaminess.
Palate
On the palate, the Chardonnay reveals masterly balance with a velvety, polished texture. The dense acidity lends structure and builds a gripping, electric tension.
Finish
Long-lasting and focused, carried by a distinct, mouth-watering salinity on the finish.
Terroir & Origin
The two-hectare, east-facing parcel »La Bonnode« is situated in Saint-Véran at an altitude of 250 metres directly below the Roche de Vergisson. The 35-year-old vines are planted on clay-limestone soils in the southern Mâconnais.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Hand-harvested at the end of August/beginning of September 2022. Following whole-bunch pressing, this 100% Chardonnay undergoes spontaneous fermentation. The 17-month maturation takes place in a concrete egg as well as neutral vats. Bottled with minimal sulphur addition (39 mg/l total sulphur).
Food Pairings
Superb with roast chicken with preserved lemon, pan-fried salmon with pea pesto or a fresh Breton seafood platter.
Special Features
The biodynamic estate (Demeter-certified) uses a concrete egg for this single-vineyard wine, endowing the Chardonnay with a fascinating, velvety textural dimension.
