Additional Info
The cuvée Millerandée is so named as it is comprised of grapes whose natural fertilization partially failed due to the age of the vines and the nature of the soil. The grapes are very small, with concentrated sugars, organic acids and aroma precursors which makes for a highly-complex and unique Chardonnay.
2023, 2024: "Zen" cuvée with only 10-20 mg/L added SO2.
