The vineyard in Pouilly-Fuisse where this wine was grown has since been upgraded to Premier Cru and this wine gives insight into why. It has an amazing blend of richness and balance, with tropical fruit and flint aromas.
Edouard's Chardonnay has rich aromas of hazelnut, pear, and yellow apple with good weight and acidity. A great example of the grape from limestone soils and without new oak flavouring.
Made of grapes from 3 different plots in Chablis, l'Eclos's entry level wine packs a solid floral punch of ripe stone fruit and honey shaped by a satisfying minerality that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
One of Dom. de l'Enclos' three Grand Crus, the Vaudesir valley yields ripe quince and orange citrus notes with a saline edge and acidity that drinks great now, but will by no means suffer from a few years' cellaring.
Named for, and made of fruit from, the smallest village in the Cote de Beaune, after a season that gave the grapes fairly austere growing conditions. Those conditions come through in a crisp, tart fruitiness, with a medium body streamlined by subdued, yet still refreshing acidity. Pair with baked fish or a goat cheese salad.
La Sauvage is a tiny parcel of Chardonnay grapes in Saint-Aubin's La Chatenière 1er Cru vineyard that is right above the winery. This intense Chardonnay with notes of hazelnut, apricot, and brioche, has its acidity softened by a carbonic maceration fermentation.
Shadows is a tiny parcel of Chardonnay grapes in Saint-Aubin's La Combe 1er Cru vineyard that is well shaded by forest. Wild, low-yielding old vines make an intense and rich Chardonnay.
Superposition comes from the Le Trézin parcel of Puligny-Montrachet at the top of the Blagny hill where the altitude keeps the acidity fresh in the wine. A complex Chardonnay with buttery richness and grapefruit aromas that deserves some cellaring.
