The climate and clay/limestone soil around the villages of Saint-Veran and Davaye (where this estate is located) are ideal for growing the crisp, elegant style of Chardonnay that I prefer. It's a style similar to that of Pouilly-Fuisse but usually at a lower price.
Medium deep yellow. Pears, lemons, minerals. Medium bodied. Crisp, elegant, subtle. Full range of flavors on the long, satisfying finish. Seems to be in its prime but has the acidity to keep for at least another year or two. I bought at auction for $15.
