Each variety is handled on its own terms: the Chardonnay is whole-bunch pressed straight to tank, the Altesse to old barriques, and both ferment slowly with their native yeasts on fine lees. The vessels are stirred a handful of times, no sulphur is added during élevage, and the wines rest for twelve months before blending and bottling. Jérémy Decoster describes the division of labour plainly enough: the Chardonnay supplies flesh and weight, while the Altesse brings aromatic precision and tension. The result is a textured white with a firm spine, made with very little intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking well now and for four or five years, it suits roast chicken, river fish or a Comté and walnut plate. Serve at 10-12°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
