Tasting Notes
Butter and bite. This old-vine Chardonnay balances richness with flinty freshness 🍋
Refined but Never Reserved
This isn’t a Chardonnay that shouts. It glows. From 50-year-old vines on clay soils, Adrien’s 2023 is graceful, layered and unmistakably Burgundy. You’ll find lemon zest, green apple and a lick of buttered toast, lifted by a fresh mineral snap of flint and reduction. Aged for 8 months in 50% oak, it’s creamy without being cloying—generous without ever tipping over. In short: it’s seriously smart and at absolutely unbeatable value.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now and should give plenty of pleasure straight away. Open it for its perfume, texture and charm rather than waiting for the perfect distant moment.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.
What if I’m not sure this is my style?
Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
