GRAPE VARIETIES: 100% Chardonnay

GROWING REGION: Bourgogne, France

HEAD WINEMAKER: Denis de la Bourdonnaye

TASTING NOTE:

This is a limited edition wine made from a careful selection of only the top barrels from each vintage. Almost a miniature Meursault in style, but at a fraction of the price.

Balance is a key word throughout the winemaking process at Laroche, from the vineyards through to the winery, barrel room and into the bottle.

The wine has a vivid pale gold colour and the nose is full and intense with a rich vanilla overtone. The palate is ripe, oaky and buttery, with hints of roasted nuts and lemon zest underneath.

The wine has excellent structure, elegance and is long lasting in the mouth. An expression of 'Terrior', a wine not to be missed.

CELLARING POTENTIAL:

Approachable now and over the next 2-3 years.

SUGGESTED FOOD MATCHES:

Perfect partner with flaky white fish and steamed vegetables.

Bourgogne in a bottle, the elegance of Chardonnay.
