Description

AOC VÉZELAY

“35-year-old Chardonnay vines from the vineyard of Merlutte, in Kimmeridgian soil, an iodine-rich mix of grey marl and limestone, associated with mineral-driven wines. Along with a sunny aspect, and moderate altitude, the resulting wine is rich in fruit, weight and with a zippy finish; a signature Vézelay profile.

“The juice was fermented naturally, one-third in a large oak foudre, highlighting weight, depth, aromatics, and texture, and two-thirds in a concrete egg, which focused the mineral zip, length, and salinity. Aged on full lies for 12 months and bottled after a very light filtration.”
