In the glass
Aroma: walnut, white flowers, spice, celery
Palate: walnut, spice, orchard fruit
An openly oxidative blend: nine topped up months apart, then fifteen months together with no topping up under the veil. Chardonnay comes off clay parcels such as Le Moulin and En Chagnon and limestone ones such as Sauvagny and Chevrettes, the Savagnin off Trias clay. Walnut, white flowers, spice and a celery note.
