Strike of Flint
This wine crackles with tension. Flint and stony minerality shoot through ripe lemon and lime, softened by honeysuckle and elderflower lift. A whisper of brioche rounds the edges, but the core stays pure, taut, and chiselled – a white Burgundy with spark and bite.
📍 The Plot
Les Monsnières lies on a stony hillside in the Côtes de Beaune, where thin, limestone-heavy soils push Chardonnay into its most mineral register. With vines ranging from 30 to 50 years old, this site yields wines that are structured, perfumed, and enduringly complex.
🍇 Technical
Manual harvest on September 18, followed by a gentle 3–4 hour press and natural settling by gravity. Native yeasts carried the fermentation, and the wine aged for 12 months entirely in one-wine oak barrels. The result is a Chardonnay of aromatic depth and flinty precision.
