"(from the lieux-dit Chevalier, Narvaux, Tillets and Clos du Cromin-"only the taut terroirs," notes Boillot) Ripe, fruit-driven aromas of peach and apricot. Rich and sweet, with an aromatic peach flavor and good mineral spine. Big and round but not at all flaccid."

The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
