“Made exclusively from Chardonnay, this wine has a light, floral bouquet. On the palate, it is harmonious and round without being heavy, with just the right amount of acidity to balance it.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

About the wine:

Made exclusively from Chardonnay, this wine has a light, floral aroma. On the palate, it is harmonious and round without being heavy, with just the right amount of acidity to balance it.

About the estate:

Renaud de Roux, who has been at the helm of this historic 95-hectare vineyard since 1968—its origins date back to the 17th century—has been cultivating his vines organically since 1983. He was a pioneer of this farming method in the region.

Review by Mr. PHILIPPE C. Published on 02/05/2019

Light on the nose, delicate and complex on the palate, with a slight harshness on the finish that should mellow with age
