2019 Équinoxe Chardonnay
Many factors contribute to the greatness of this wine: low yields, old vines, cool micro climate, cool fermentation and ageing “sur lie” in the finest, most nuanced, French oak barrels. Severine cared for these barrels of wine like her own children and crafted a Chardonnay that is both nuanced and structured while remaining finessed. This is a wine that merits cellaring and will please the palates of those who gravitate to the legendary wines of upper Meursault hills in Cote d’Or: richness married with great acidity leading to a tense finish.

Light Salads on a warm summer day or variety of roasted squashes with pinenuts would let this wine showcase itself very well
