How it tastes
In the glass
Ripe and elegant Chardonnay with white peach, mineral precision, and subtle creamy texture.
Profile
Nose
Ripe white peach, pear, hints of citrus blossom, delicate stony and flinty notes.
Palate
The same fruit layered over a mineral thread. Vibrant, integrated acidity lends structure and lift, while fine lees contact adds subtle creamy texture that broadens the mid-palate. A whisper of spice runs through the profile.
Finish
Lingering and elegant, balancing vitality with finesse.
“A precise, expressive Chardonnay shaped by extended lees ageing and Jura minerality.”

Good to know
Questions we get a lot
Is this a natural wine?
All our wines come from small growers who farm organically or biodynamically and keep intervention in the cellar to a minimum: native yeasts, little or no added sulphites. Every producer has their own approach; the details are in “From the vineyard to the bottle” above.
Why is it a bit cloudy, or is there sediment?
Many of our wines are bottled unfiltered. A light haze or some sediment is natural and harmless: stand the bottle upright for a few hours and pour gently.
How long does it keep once open?
It depends on the wine (see “Once open” above). As a rule: cork back in and keep it in the fridge, reds included.
