Tasting notes
La Chatenière is one of the oldest vineyard of Saint-Aubin planted in Chardonnay. It is a very floral wine with notes of citrus at the end of the mouth which give it length and finesse
Food and wine pairings
Ideal with crayfish, grilled fish, the pike cooked in sauce.
Reviews
"More ripeness, still yellow fruit, quite direct. A broader wine, plenty of freshness – really mouth-filling. Softer in style but then another great peacock’s tail of a finish. Too easy then brilliant!"
