Fruit has been sourced from the south of France and some from Burgundy for this handsomely packaged Chardonnay, which could easily pass for a white Burgundy. Aged for six months, mainly in stainless steel, it’s surprisingly rich, and has an attractive creaminess that carries a bit more weight than a Chablis at a similar price point – were such a thing to exist.
