Wine Description
This Premier Cru Chardonnay displays a radiant pale gold hue with glints of green. The nose is refined and layered, offering aromas of white peach, acacia blossom, toasted almond, and a subtle minerality. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a textured mouthfeel, combining ripe orchard fruit with zesty citrus and a chalky, saline character. Balanced acidity and delicate oak integration lead to a long, harmonious finish that reflects both finesse and depth. Crafted from 100% Chardonnay, the wine is best enjoyed from 2024 through 2030, showing potential for further aging.
