In 2007 Cécile and Alain Dardanelli had their soils analysed and realised that, alongisde their established Gamay grapes, they could grow Chardonnay. It's hardly surprising, given that many of their vineyards are within touching distant of famous Maconnais appellations such as Pouilly-Fuisse and Saint Veran.
The wine has subtle aromas of white honeysuckle and citrus. The palate shows stone fruit and white pepper spice.
Pair this with grilled fish or a fish terrine.
