Our oenologist's comments

The color is white gold with golden reflections. The first nose expresses itself on mineral notes and of white fruits. The wooded elegance rereleases then with touches of toast, brioche-like bread. It is after a moment in the glass that the powerful minerality expresses itself. In mouth, it is a wine with an attack rather chiselled and on the sharpness. The balance is thoroughbred, between fruity and minerality. The mouth is full, fleshy. The batonnage of lees and the ageing of 21 months in oak barrel are for many there. Non-glued and vey little filtrated, it is a beautiful wine which promises a good ageing potential. Its chalky side, mineral, so typical of Chardonnay of this sector of Corton, leaves a beautiful persistancy in mouth.

Sommelier's advice

It could accompany, among others, a sandwich of gingerbread in the foie gras and his compote of figs, a bisque of lobster, oysters or even a whole seafood platter, as well as a small dish of crayfishes and his fondue of leeks.
