Burghound 90 Points | Very pretty, cool and admirably pure aromas are comprised by notes of green apple, lemon-lime and mineral reduction. The almost painfully intense medium weight flavors display even more prominent minerality on the clean, sneaky long and bone-dry finale. This would benefit from developing depth and that may well occur if given a chance.
Winemaker Description
Of the four hectares that Chandon de Briailles owns in Île de Vergelesses, one hectare is planted to Chardonnay. It's a clay and limestone soil, which is a part of the same geological break as Charlemagne; with more clay at the bottom of the parcel and very calcareous at the top.

The chardonnay, planted in 1985 and 1991, is in a perect location mid-slope facing east. Fermented and aged in two 1,000L Stockinger barrels. Bottled in September 2021 because it aged much slower in the large barrels.
