About The Producer
Paul Garaudet is based in Monthelie and his wines are authentically Burgundian. He practices sustainable farming and his wines undergo little to no filtration.
Terroir & Vineyard Practices:
In the vineyard all qualitative works are made in order to give a small crop composed of small healthy grapes, sweet and rich in terroir aromas. The harvesting is totally made by hand. No chemical products are used in order to give great wines for ageing with good character.
Tasting Notes
Beautiful Burgundy Chardonnay from old vines just outside of Meursault. An elegant wine with aromas and flavors of citrus, ripe fruit, and a touch of vanilla. Minerality on the finish.
Vinification
The Chardonnay is harvested at the peak of maturity, once in the winery a soft pressing is made, the must is finely racked then put in casks by gravity in the cellar after which alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place. A stirring of the lees in a barrel is carried out every 15 days during 12 to 18 months of maturation. It helps the wine to feed it self on its fine lees. The white wines are fined and lightly filtered in order to protect their purity and freshness.
