A selection from Chardonnay vines planted among Pinot Noir in Magnien’s home village of Morey-Saint-Denis: vineyards include Monts Luisants, Les Larrets, and Les Herbuottes. Soils mix clay and limestone. Hand-harvested. Fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled tanks. Aged 100% in older French oak barrels. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Aromas of citrus zest, stone fruits, crushed stones, light herbs. Medium-bodied, savory, and long. Seafood in cream sauce; white meat

Magnien’s hometown vineyards aren’t completely planted to Pinot Noir - here and there a handful of older-vine Chardonnay offers a surprise. This medium-bodied, wonderfully savory wine is a selection of Chardonnay from three vineyards within Morey-Saint-Denis. Very rare and wonderful.
