This Chardonnay has a fresh bouquet with notes of acacia honey and yellow fruits. The palate is very well balanced with racy acidity and a silky texture.

Under the keen eye of renowned viniculteur Grégory Patriat considered one of the best viticulturalists/winemakers of his generation in Burgundy. He spends a great deal of his time in the vineyards, paying his growers by the hectare in order to ensure low yields. He also prefers to work with organic growers, as he finds they produce better fruit. Unlike other Burgundian négociants, Grégory specialises in making wines from 'lieu-dits' or tiny plots of vines, something which accounts for the limited production of most of his wines.

The Chardonnay for 'Les Ursulines' is sourced from several parcels in the Côte de Beaune and the Mâconnais. The vines are planted on limestone and clay soils. The vineyard management here is stringent in order to control yields, guaranteeing good concentration of flavours in the grapes.

Whole bunch pressed for a short time before the temperature being dropped and transferring to oak barrels for fermentation and aged for 14 months, to give lovely rounded texture to the finished wine.
