• 34% Réserve Perpétuelle stored in stainless steel vats – a 50:50 blend of Chardonnay and Pinot noir from vintages 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 & 2016, with no malolactic fermentation

“The style of Collection 243 is dominated by the Chardonnay varietal which was of exceptional quality in the 2017 vintage.

The perfectly ripe Chardonnays lend the wine its aromas of ripe, sweet fruit complemented by subtle oaky notes. The palate is rich and ripe with a luxurious texture that coats the palate, the signature of an outstanding Chardonnay.
