Description

Tiny bunches of grapes from 60 year old vines are the secret here: restrained but really concentrated on the palate with a lovely texture which really fleshes out at the back.
Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Director

This is such a quiet and understated domaine, but they have been making brilliant wines for some time now, abetted by a seemingly seamless transition from Gérard Boudot to the next generation, daughter Emilie and son-in-law Benoit Riffault. The domaine is now farmed entirely organically with some biodynamic methods being used. They began picking on 17th September, finishing before the rains of Friday 24th – even so some sorting was necessary. The difficult flowering, especially higher on the slope, has led to very small yields giving exceptionally concentrated wines.

About this wine

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
