Richly flavored and ready to drink, this wine sings with white fruits and a sharp acidity.
Eight-year-old chardonnay vines planted at 150 meters elevation near Cru Fleurie. The plot has clay and silt soils and is situated at east to west exposure. Hand harvested, and immediately pressed. Fermentation with native yeast at cool temperatures. Six months aging on fine lees in stainless steel.
If you subscribe to the notion that the wine matches the winemaker, Yohan Lardy’s energy and unguarded good-humor will come as no surprise once you’ve tasted his wines. There is tremendous concentration and purity of fruit in the wines as well as great mineral structure. But there is a vivacity and lightness as well, reminiscent of Yohan as he cracks jokes on the vineyard...
