The 2016 Heurtebise, 100% Chardonnay, is stunning. Vinification in slightly larger 350-liter barrels suits this wine so well, as the wood adds texture but while allowing all of the translucency and energy of Chardonnay to come through. Lemon confit, crushed rocks, white flowers, white pepper and mint add a brilliant upper register.

Dosage is 5 grams per liter. Disgorged: November, 2019.
