Guenin Vers le Bois

A single vineyard Chardonnay from the the southerly reaches of Champagne, bordering Chablis. The nose had a lovely oxidative nature and some toasty notes. On the palate it's nicely complex without taking itself too seriously. There's good depth and length and a lovely prickly finish.
