About this product
From 70–80 year old Chardonnay vines on Solutré limestone — one of the Mâconnais's most complex and age-worthy wines. Extended aging in old Burgundy barrels without racking produces a wine of extraordinary texture, depth, and mineral complexity: white truffle, hazelnut, warm brioche, lemon curd, chalk, and an almost Meursault-like depth that develops magnificently over a decade. The definitive argument against Mâcon as simple early-drinking wine.
