Overall the look is toward the darker spectrum
The grapes were harvested by hand and fermented whole-cluster in open-top fermenters with 25-30 days of skin contact before pressing with a vertical press into a mix of 500
Made from a mix of old and young vines grown on sandy and chalky soils around Batea and Gandesa

Domaine de la Cadette Vézelay Bourgogne Blanc "La Châtelaine" 2023 Unfiltered Overall the look is towardA classic Chardonnay from the small, almost unknown Vzlay appellation, located south of Auxerre and west of Dijon, and actually still part of Chablis. A very solid yellow fruity nose of yellow apple, pear, Galia melon, a hint of hay meadow and delicate limestone. On the palate, a very soft texture, creamy fruit extract without any wood or barrel influences. The acidity is present, but charming in the background, well behaved in a truly positive sense,
