A select cuvee from its best Chardonnay vineyard, aged in 100% Allier oak, this wine offers a lot of finesse and class at an everyday price. The nose shows mild toast, nut and mineral components, and the flavors are apple, tropical fruit and toasted bread. The feel on the palate is elegant, slightly creamy, and it closes with a long, complex finish and an intriguing floral perfume. If you love white Burgundy, this is your everyday white.
