Supple on the attack, the crisp palate reveals an acidic structure dominated by iodine and chalky minerality. The flavors of fig and rhubarb are confirmed, resulting in a structured and enveloping palate.  Serve with seafood risotto, Burgundy snails with parsley, or pan-fried foie gras.

Fermentation of the musts in temperature-controlled steel vats for approximately 30 days and 10% in oak barrels of 600 liters. Matured on the lees for 10 months.

This wine is produced from vineyards in the village of Bué (principally the “Clos du Chêne Marchand”) that are planted uniquely to clay-limestone soils, known as “caillottes” and “griottes” which yield a wine of particularly fine quality and exceptional length. Usually harvested earlier than the other cuvées because of the excellent exposure of the vines to the sun, “Le Chene” maintains an elegant acidity in support of the ripe fruit of these well-positioned vines.
