100% Chardonnay
Intense minerality, featuring notes of wet limestone, oyster shells, sea spray, and crushed stone, balanced with vibrant green apple, citrus (lemon/lime), and hints of pear, peach, and floral/beeswax undertones, offering a racy, chalky texture with saline salinity, great acidity, and a complex finish that develops beautifully with age from youthful austerity to rich, savory depth.
Dessus la Carriere is made from two lieux dits (Semon and Paradis) that sit above an abandoned limestone quarry. Hand Harvested, fermented in stainless steel using indiginous yeasts
