TASTING NOTES

Domaine Frantz Chagnoleau is a small estate run by two talented winemakers, Frantz Chagnoleau and his wife Caroline Gon (winemaker at Héritiers du Comte Lafon). Since 2013 all of the vineyards have been certified organic.  As with Lafon, this dynamic duo believe in minimal intervention, which includes the use of only indigenous yeast, as the best way to express the nuances of each unique terroir. Aging is done in mostly large, used French oak, harvest is done completely by hand on a plot by plot basis, allowing each vine to achieve the appropriate balance of sugar and acidity before being picked.  This dynamic duo is one of the most talented teams in all of Burgundy, farming the old-fashioned way and making micro-quantities of single vineyard White Burgundy from some of the finest Chardonnay terroir in the world. -Importer's Notes

 

This white Burgundy has a vibrant and expressive profile with scents of white flowers, ripe pear and green apple tinged with zested lime and toasted nuts. The palate is bright and refreshing with pure, racy citrus and tropical fruits interwoven with spice and flinty mineral nuances.
