Made in collaboration with Jean-Marc Roulet of Domaine Roulot in Meursault, this single vineyard Chardonnay is produced from 40-year old vines planted in mineral soils with alluvial stones covered in calcaire. To capture the truest expression of the vineyard and terroir, the wine is vinified in a mixture of concrete and stainless steel tanks, as well as used, neutral French oak barrels. The wine is made 100% organically and biodynamically.

tasting note

The wine is intense, energetic, high pitched, and lively. On the palate, it is round, austere, refined and mineral-driven. It has a dry mouthfeel and a saltiness that is natural to the Rio Negro area of Patagonia.

food pairing

Pairs well with glazed salmon, butter poached scallops, frisee aux lardons, and aged, nutty cheeses.

about the grape +
- Chardonnay
  Though it has a distinctive profile, Chardonnay reflects other factors such as soil composition and vinification technique. Chardonnay is a reliable, hardy and prolific vine whose only real vulnerabilities are frost and uneven development of fruit.

“I wanted to make pure, authentic Pinot Noir with its own special character—and then I found these forgotten, old vines in Patagonia….”
