Terres de Famille

Description
These large and magnificent vines with their curving rows profit from the sweeping winds of the plateau and are ideal for the organic cultivation of our Hautes-Côtes de Nuits. The grapes grown here are also used as the majority contributor to our Bourgogne Chardonnay Tete de Famille. We are allowed to add certain declassified village wines to the blend for a carefully crafted final cuvée, with a precise, mineral, and fruity wine with a smooth patina from the larger barrels used to age it.

Appearance:Deep gold.
Aroma:Grapefruit, white flowers and crushed rock aromas.
Palate:There is good volume and plenty of mid-palate fat to the delicious and energetic medium-bodied flavors.
Vintage Notes:Like a family reunion, this wine brings together the members of one single line of descent, and one single Cistercian terroir. The varietal – Chardonnay – originated in southern Burgundy and takes its name from the Latin word cardonnacum, which describes a place where thistles grow. This shows that like all great varietals, the Chardonnay grape floruishes best on poor soils.
