Made from old vines planted on the hillsides of Chouilly in 1947, the intensity of the Chardonnay grapes is balanced by cooler climate throughout the '13 growing season. The result is a really nicely balanced Chardonnay that captures the fresh chalk and mineral style of the village with pulpy fruit and the start of some beautiful toasty notes from both 50% oak vinification and ample time in bottle.
