100% Chardonnay planted on clay-chalk soils and gravel top soils. Vines are 25 years old, Guyot or Cordon de Royat pruned and planted at a high density of 10,000vines/ha. Grapes were hand-harvested in late-Sept at 60hl/ha and sorted at the winery. A cold must-settling was carried out for 24 hours, then the juice was racked and fermented, initially in tanks and later in oak barrels with selected yeasts at 19°C. Matured on lees with frequent stirring for 12 months in French oak barrels, of which 30% were new. Winemaker Bertrand Straebler. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Alc 13.0%, TA 6.23g/l, RS 1.4g/l. Special Offer: Save 25%, £23.99 - £17.99 from 09/11/11 to 06/12/11. Waitrose Wine Direct and 251 branches. IWC 2011 Silver Medal Winner. Lovely rich nose. Sweet fruit. It’s good but I wouldn’t be buying it for this Christmas. Get it under the stairs for a couple or three years and it’ll have become wonderful. Tasted at WR 06/10/11 |
