it in price! Fresh and appealing unoaked Chardonnay! a pure
delight.
£25.00 | 13.5%

texture. Clean as a whistle.

Pure results and unadorned expressions of the great chalk slopes of Chablis.

Elegantly stylish butterscotch, beautifully integrated oak
character. A great example from a great village.

of buttery richness & generous, slightly tropical, fruitiness.
