The north-facing limestone hills slope down to clay, the perfect combination for growing wines with minerality and concentration.

Weighty and quite concentrated chardonnay with a nice mix of sweet fruit and savoury characters including peach, citrus, nectarine, baguette crust and spicy French oak.
