Champ Gain is a superb climat classified 1er Cru and is situated on the lower level of the hill of Mont Rachet. In winemaking, the Chardonnay grapes are fermented and matured in oak barrels for about 14 months. This wine can age for 10-15 years.

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.
