Chardonnay

Burgundy, France

“The plot takes its name from its proximity to an old pilgrimage route, leading from Vézelay to Compostela.It is placed on a dome pulling towards the west. Its gentle slope exposed to a permanent moderate wind is composed of limestone scree dating from the Kimmeridgian and decomposed soils which release crystals and minerals.The wines of the Côte aux Prêtres are distinguished by their salinity, maturity, and concentration.” -Chateau de Beru

Raising the glass to your nose, notes of ripe green apples, crisp pears, and zesty citrus. These lively fruity scents are harmoniously intertwined with subtle hints of white flowers and a mineral undertone. As the wine breathes, a touch of flinty, wet stones emerges, reminiscent of the vineyard's unique terroir.

On the palate, the flavors that it presents are a balanced fusion of orchard fruits, with the tartness of green apples beautifully counterbalanced by the lushness of ripe pears. The citrus notes play a supporting role, adding a lively and invigorating dimension to the wine's profile.
