The Story
From the higher, cooler slopes above the Cote de Beaune comes this Hautes Cotes Chardonnay from Antoine Lepetit de la Bigne, the ex-Leflaive biodynamic specialist behind La Pierre Ronde. The elevation here means extra freshness and tension, making for a white that's vibrant and energetic. Expect crisp orchard and citrus fruit over a stony mineral backbone, all framed by Antoine's gentle, hands-off touch. A terrific value from a producer who clearly knows his way around Chardonnay.
