This Santenay Blanc "Sous la Roche" from Domaine Bonnardot is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown on a southeast-facing clay-limestone terroir in the Côte de Beaune. The grapes are hand-harvested, gently pressed as whole bunches, fermented in barrels with natural yeasts, and aged for 12 months on the lees, followed by 6 months in stainless steel tanks before light bottling. The wine displays aromatic purity and vibrant energy.
