Description

This is from Paupillots, Rue Aux Vaches and Noyer Bret. Paupillots is a newish addition (2019); the wine loses its biodynamic status until it becomes certified. All three wines are made separately and blended after fermentation. There’s some honey on the nose and an open, concentrated palate with good freshness. The wine’s generous and ripe texture defines it. Drink 2023-2032.

Critics reviews

Jasper Morris MW
90-92/100
From Rue aux Vaches, Noyer Bret and Paupillot. Pale lemon colour, with just a light bouquet. There is much more substance in the mouth and it builds steadily to the back of the palate, apples and pears, and very good length. There is a velvet texture though on top of the more linear style of Puligny.

About The Wine

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is arguably the most versatile white grape variety in the world. Grown globally and beloved for its adaptability, it can produce wines that range from crisp and mineral to rich and opulent. It thrives in a wide range of soils but performs best in limestone-rich terroirs, such as those found in Chablis, Champagne, and the Côte d'Or.
