It wasn’t until mid-September that the vines were able to take advantage of the return of the fine weather conditions: the sun and the north wind allowed the grapes to reach full maturity before the harvest. Just like in 2007, the work on the vine and the decision to sacrifice a part of the harvest paid off. The meticulous selection process, and the decision for moderate yields, led to a lower-than-average harvest volume, one of the lowest in the last ten years. Nine months after the harvest, the wines, although not all bottled, are already asserting a pleasant character. The white wines are powerful, following in the tradition of the great Burgundy classics, while the reds are well structured, with considerable cellar potential.

Vinification and Ageing: Biodynamically grown. Manual harvest in crates. Whole grapes pressed for 2.5 hours. Juice settles in stainless steel vats at 12°C overnight. Alcoholic fermentation occurs in barrels (traditional Burgundy method). 18 months ageing on lees, with 12 months in oak barrels (Burgundy barrels of 228L and 1HL).

Tasting Notes: Offers gourmet aromas of exotic fruits, vanilla and toasted hazelnuts. The mouth is round and aromatic with slightly spiced notes of pineapple, mango and brioche.

Food Pairing: Can be paired well with rich seafood dishes, creamy sauces, and white meats like chicken or pork.

THE GRAPE

 

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is the "Big Daddy" of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world. It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or.

Burgundy is Chardonnay`s spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvelous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.

It is quantitatively important in California and Australia, is widely planted in Chile and South Africa, and is the second most widely planted grape in New Zealand. In warm climates Chardonnay has a tendency to develop very high sugar levels during the final stages of ripening and this can occur at the expense of acidity. Late picking is a common problem and can result in blowsy and flabby wines that lack structure and definition.

Recently in the New World, we have seen a move towards more elegant, better- balanced and less oak-driven Chardonnays, and this is to be welcomed.
