Highlights

  • 100% Chardonnay: Sourced exclusively from a 0.69-hectare plot of 55-year-old vines in the 'En Chatenay' climat of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation.
  • Terroir: Classic clay and limestone soils of the southern Mâconnais, which impart a distinct saline minerality and natural concentration to the fruit.
  • Winemaking: Farmed biodynamically and harvested by hand. The "Zen" designation signifies natural winemaking: fermented with indigenous yeasts and bottled with zero added sulfur.
  • Elevage: Aged gracefully for 17 months in traditional French oak barrels with full malolactic fermentation, softening the acidity while building profound textural depth.
  • Vintage Profile: The 2020 vintage yielded beautifully ripe but energetic fruit, perfectly complementing the zero-sulfur approach to produce a wine free of heaviness with a laser-focused finish.

Tasting Notes

Pouring a luminous pale gold, the wine offers an elegant, high-energy bouquet of zesty lime, crisp green apple, and white blossoms. On the palate, it is brilliantly focused and naturally concentrated, driven by a mouthwatering, bright acidity. Despite its textural richness from 17 months in barrel and full malolactic fermentation, there is zero heaviness—just a pure, precise expression of unsulfured Chardonnay that finishes with a long, saline, and chalky resonance.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve chilled at 50-54°F (10-12°C) in a standard white Burgundy glass to highlight its vibrant, zesty aromatics.
  • Decanting: A brief 15-30 minute decant is recommended for natural, zero-sulfur wines to allow them to open fully. Pair with grilled white fish, fresh oysters, or goat cheese tarts.
