Description
Not much is known about this wonderful little find. Exclusive to the distributor, it is sourced from a single-family farm (from which they buy the entirety of the grapes) and made by a winemaker they have been working with for decades. Produced from high altitude Chardonnay from 30+-year-old vines grown in southern Burgundy, Les Belles Roches is a lively and mineral-focused expression of this noble variety. Harvested by hand, and spontaneously fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, the resulting wine is softly textured, with aromas of citrus and sliced apples. A remarkable Burgundy value that clearly conveys the regalness of this famed region. An excellent value, this white Burgundy shows flavors of yellow apple, white peach, toasted hazelnut and lemon zest. Bright and refreshing with clean minerality and an elegant, silky finish.
