Description

The Droin holding is just over one hectare in this warm, south-/south-west facing vineyard, whose name translates as “ripe valley”. The result is a dense and broad-shouldered wine with sappy minerality. Spicy and mineral, this is austere and reserved. It will be at its best in around a decade. Drink 2028-2040.

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.
