Les Varrons Vieilles Vignes - 2018 - Jean François Ganevat

This is the first vintage of this 100% Chardonnay cuvée, from old vines planted at 250 metres altitude on an east-facing slope with a terroir of clay over limestone. The parcel was recently acquired by the estate and is in the process of being certified organic, with biodynamic principles applied as well. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are vinified naturally, and matured three years in demi-muid barrels that have seen several wines. Bottled at the estate on November 2, 2021, without fining, filtration, or the addition of sulphites.
