Tasting Notes
An outstanding wine that effortlessly balances elegance and structure. We have all the hallmarks of a high-quality Macon Chardonnay here with green fruits, white peach and nectarine, white blossoms and well-integrated secondary notes from malolactic conversion and oak, in particular cloves and light toast. The oak here is used to frame and uplift the primary flavours derived from the clay and limestone site that sits at 270m above sea level, and to bring them into harmony in the wine. This can be drunk now or cruise throughout the rest of the decade. - Aaron C.
Domaine Frantz Chagnoleau is a beautiful little estate run by the two winemakers, both with backgrounds in Oenology: Frantz Chagnoleau and his wife Caroline Gon, who was the former winemaker with Héritiers du Comte Lafon.
All of the vineyards have been certified organic since 2013. As with Lafon, these winemakers take a minimal intervention approach using only indigenous yeast as the best way to express the nuances of the unique unique terroir. Aging is done in primarily in large, used French oak and the grapes are harvested completely by hand on a plot-by-plot basis.
