Our Take: A beautifully taut Chardonnay, combining green apple, lime, pear, and subtle acacia with a distinctly chalky, savory edge. Silky and concentrated on the palate, it balances ripe fruit with brisk acidity and fine mineral tension, finishing long, saline, and remarkably clean.

• Variety: Chardonnay
• Surface Area: 0.28 ha (0.69 ac)
• Terroir: On a high-seated plateau, cool site, well-draining clay soil with a strong limestone influence.

• Vinification: Pressed for 1.5 hours, ambient yeast fermentation and aging for 12 months in used barrels, aged for an additional 3-7 months in tank, no fining, light filtration, SO2 added when racked to tank and before bottling (15-30 ppm total at bottling).
