Produced by Louis Jadot, a renowned winery in Burgundy, this Chardonnay is a testament to the region's winemaking expertise. The grapes for this wine were sourced from the Beaune Grèves vineyard, a premier cru site in the Cote de Beaune sub-region. This vineyard, owned by Domaine Gagey, has consistently produced exceptional wines, and the 2020 vintage is no exception.

The winemaking process for this wine involved gentle crushing and pressing of the grapes, followed by fermentation in cask, with 25% new oak. This aging on the lees further enhanced the wine's complexity and added layers of flavor.
