(2022) Unoaked Chardonnay from clay soils, just south of the Mâconnaise, and a lovely, limpid wine reminiscent of the wines from further north. Pale yellow in colour with plenty of succulent fruit aromas, a little like spiced pears and with some interesting floral top notes too. In the mouth it hints at the tropical, peach and even touching on mango, but stays sharp and well-defined with crisp apple and citrus the finishing flavours. Nicely done at a modest price.

(2021) From limestone soils in Beaujolais this is unoaked Chardonnay with creamy stone fruit aromatics, very lightly buttery, ripe and almost minty notes. In the mouth the mineral and lemon thrust comes as some surprise after the roundness of the aromas, giving this an incisive, brisk and bone-dry character, elegant and linear, finishing long on fruit and limey acid. Available April 2021.

(2016) From a one hectare vineyard, this is unoaked Chardonnay. Quite a rich nose with a touch of leesy quality and some fruit skin richness. The palate offers a flood of sweet fruit and is really quite creamy in texture. There is good balance here, perhaps a little twist of bitter lemon adding a grippy feel.
