(2017 Vintage Notes)

fun guaranteed

This beautiful white wine from northern Burgundy, grown on limestone soil, truly lives up to its name! Elegant and delicate on the nose, this cuvée offers subtle hints of vanilla. On the palate, it is both refined and smooth, with citrus and mineral notes reminiscent of the Chablis terroirs. A cuvée that’s sure to please!

It’s well worth the price of many more prestigious white Burgundies
