2022 Jérôme Fornerot, Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Chardonnay Burgundy, France
$34.99
Vineyard Area: The vines were planted on high elevation plots in Saint-Aubin in the 1980s.
Soil: There are two soils types: One on white clay-limestone soil, and the other on a thin layer of red soil on lava, which gives all the complexity to this wine according to Fornerot.
Elevation: 400-425 meters
Vinification: After being handpicked, the harvest is lightly crushed then pressed in a pneumatic press. The juice is then allowed to settle and placed by gravity in French oak barrels to ferment with indigenous yeasts.
Maturation: After aging in barrels for 10 months, the wine is placed in vat for a month and is bottled at the estate.
