Chardonnay from Pouilly-Fuissés’ less famous neighbor, about 10km south-west of Mâcon in southern Burgundy. Aged in stainless steel and oak for 6 months. Pale yellow color. Delicate. Some floral notes

Blend of Chardonnay (40%) and Pinot Noir (60%) from vineyards in Préhy. Vinified in méthode champenoise with no dosage. Dry, medium to full-bodied, mineral. Good value

One of my favorites from La Paulée off grid. Serious Cru Beaujolais by reputed Côte de Beaune producer François de Nicolai (of Chandon de Briailles). From biodynamically farmed vines in Morgon. Black and white pepper, earthy notes and some red fruit. Savory, mineral. #lapaulée — 4 years ago

Chardonnay sourced from several plots in the village of Saint Romain. Fermented and aged for 12 months in neutral oak barrels (10% new). Elegant, mineral, good structure. One of the highlights from La Paulée Off the Grid
