White · Medium · Dry
Chardonnay grown on Burgundy's chalkiest soils, almost never oaked. Lean, steely, oyster-shell minerality; a wine that tastes like a place. The wine for shellfish, full stop.

Why it works with Apricot Verts
Off-dry Riesling with fruit-forward dishes echoes stone-fruit and orchard notes.
Dessert · Full · Sweet
