Reserve Chardonnay
To make a classic Chardonnay in the Burgundian sense, with both richness and restraint, elegance and ageability, one must be committed to bringing the same painstaking detail to the Chardonnay winemaking that one brings to Pinot noir
|
We farm our Chardonnay for the same low yields as our Pinot noir, we use indigenous yeasts where possible, and, to get the best possible expression of an individual vineyard's terroir, we employ a rigourous barrel-by-barrel selection. That means we select only those lots which best express the vineyard's character. The percentage of new French oak is also paramount, and must not be too high, or the terroir of the vineyard risks being obscured. After some 14 months in barrel and several in tank, our Reserve Chardonnay is bottled and left to further round out in bottle until its release date, often nearly full two years after the harvest.
