Winemaking followed a carefully balanced approach. Half of the grapes were whole-bunch pressed. The juice naturally settled for 48 hours in stainless steel before being transferred to a barrel. The other half was destemmed, pressed, and settled with enzymes for 24 hours.
Fermentation lasted around two weeks, after which the barrels were topped, and the wine matured for nine months. To frame the fruit while maintaining elegance, 29% new French oak was selected for this vintage.
This Chardonnay opens up with lifted citrus notes of lemon zest and white grapefruit, layered with orange blossom. A saline edge and flinty minerality reflect the maritime influence, while subtle tones of almond, crushed stone, and spice add further detail. French oak is finely judged, contributing gentle texture without obscuring fruit purity.
On the palate, the wine is taut and energetic. Its vibrant acidity and concentrated core create an electric line of tension. This Chardonnay carries elegance and clarity, seamlessly uniting precision with a poised expression of site.
Composition: 100% Chardonnay
Alcohol: 13.42%
