ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
A generous, unoaked wine from three Chardonnay plots in the argilo-limestone soils of Mâcon-Burgy, Les 3 Terroirs is a beautifully balanced expression of the region. Grapes from these hillsides typically reach maturity slightly later than their southerly neighbors in Igé, resulting in a wine that is nicely weighted and textured, with subtle notes of grapefruit and almonds. This open and expressive French Chardonnay offers both elegance and generosity.
