Classification: Premier Cru

Tasting Notes: The nose reveals an aromatic bouquet of citrus blossoms, white pear, and finely milled limestone. On the palate, a broad and energetic entry expands into a concentrated core of stone fruit, balanced by vibrant acidity and a persistent, saline-driven finish. Decant for 45 to 60 minutes prior to serving slightly cool to allow its complex layers to unfold fully. Pair this with butter-poached lobster, pan-seared sea scallops, or roasted poultry served in a delicate cream sauce.

Varietals: 100% Chardonnay
