Everything is sublimated by the upper part made of hard limestone, (white limestone), with very delicate notes and mint flowers, ensuring freshness and elegance during the evolution in the bottle. This wine, with the signature of its winemaker, is therefore the most representative and the biggest white wine from Burgundy. Its aging potential can exceed the decade.
