Cuvée 100% chardonnay, unique expression revealing a successful association between the grape variety and this terroir of Château Saint Louis. The harmony arises from a balance between an engaging nose that is highly expressive and a pleasantly round mouth. The grapes underwent pressing and then debourbage at low temperature. The maceration takes place on fine spreads. The vinification lasts around three weeks in a thermo-regulated manner and ends with malo-lactic fermentation.
