Viinin Kuvailu
The Story
Derived exclusively from Grand Cru-classified terroirs, this cuvée is composed of Chardonnay from the communes of Oger and Le Mesnil- sur-Oger. Wholly fabricated from the "Cœurs de Cuvée" ("heart of the cuvée"), it is vinified without malolactic fermentation and matured in oak barrels. After several years of ageing in the bottle in our cellars, this cuvée is aimed at true Chardonnay aficionados. Endowed with great freshness and finesse, this cuvée is recommended for aperitif or to accompany seafood dishes.
