Bret Bros Macon Chardonnay `Les Crays`

The older residents of Chardonnay will tell you that their village gave the name to the grape that now dominates Burgundy. All we know is that the name comes from the latin “cardus” which means a sharp plant or thistle that thrives in limestone soil and is found on this one-hectare site — 350 metres above sea level. Hand-harvested with spontaneous fermentation in old barrels and ageing for 11 months, leading to a beautiful, expressive bouquet, rich and balanced. Full of joie de vivre.
