"Vinified and aged in twelve months in neutral wood, this cuvĂŠe is very expressive, showcasing notes of white flowers, citrus, and acacia. Pierre de Benoist recommends drinking it now if you want to experience the fresh, energetic fruit or waiting 3-5 years if you prefer a denser, more evolved Chardonnay." - Importer Notes, Kermit Lynch

2019 in Burgundy combined spring frost and summer drought to cut yields, producing concentrated yet balanced wines; the reds are ripe and structured with retained freshness, making an excellent, ageworthy vintage in both colors.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
