The Chardonnay displays an intense and profound aromatic profile, characterised by \u003cstrong\u003etoasted notes\u003c\/strong\u003e and hints of melted butter, accompanied by sweet nuances of wildflower honey, nectarine and golden apple. As it evolves in the glass, it reveals fascinating mineral tones of gunpowder, aromatic herbs and white pepper.

The vines are grown at an altitude of 250 metres, using a trellis training system and Guyot pruning.
