Château de Chardonne Premier Grand Cru 2011

White wine | Chardonne, Lavaux AOC

Not everyone can be a Premier Grand Cru!
The Château de Chardonne, while reserved in its youth, ages admirably over several decades. The great 2011 vintage, with very slow maturation, offers us a complex white wine, with mineral, floral and fruity accents, enhanced with a touch of honey. A very refined Chasselas, which well deserves its place at the top of the Vaud wine pyramid!
