This 100% Chardonnay comes from organically tended clay-limestone parcels around Chaintré and is assembled as a multi-vintage blend to balance freshness and depth across harvests.  Fermentation is spontaneous and followed by a long élevage on lees in older barrels, with little to no added sulfur, and bottling is done without fining or filtration.
