Antoine Lienhardt crafts this white Burgundy with a light touch, letting the Côte de Beaune speak for itself. The Chardonnay grows on limestone-rich slopes, worked with real care and picked by hand at perfect ripeness. Fermentation happens slowly in oak barrels, with only a gentle hand on the oak, so the fruit stays front and centre. Expect a golden glass full of white peach, hazelnut and a hint of citrus, with a creamy texture balanced by bright, mineral freshness. Lovely with roast chicken, scallops or a creamy risotto. A refined, generous bottle you'll want to share with people you like.
