Côtes de Beaune Combe d'Eve

Emmanuel Giboulot
Emmanuel Giboulot farms his vines in Beaune using biodynamics, and he's been doing it since long before it was fashionable. This Chardonnay comes from a cool, limestone-rich plot on the hillside, where the grapes ripen slowly and keep their freshness. Hand-picked fruit, gentle pressing, natural ferments and a quiet ageing in older barrels — nothing added, nothing stripped away. The result is a white with real tension: white peach, lemon zest, a hint of hazelnut and a chalky, saline finish that keeps you coming back. Pour it with roast chicken, soft cheeses or simply on its own.
