ChatGris

Tintin had his blue orange, Jeff now has his orange wine. Orange wine yes, but in this case lots of time to mature, and in non-topped-up barrels, in the spirit of the great Rancio Sec wines.

Morillon Blanc

This wine is made with botrytised grapes (or « noble rot »). Vinified dry «Morillon Blanc» is the original name for Chardonnay. The older the grapes, the stronger the expression of roasted botrytis grapes combined with a more concentrated colour.

Grape varieties

100 % Chardonnay

Origin

France

Nuance, aroma & taste

Straw yellow.

Ripe and expressive, notes of pears, peaches and pineapples, with hints of roasted butter.

Well-rounded and rich, with a ripe, dense, almost fatty matter, and an acidity which balances and refreshes the whole.

Clear, finely astringent, with the ever present mature fruit, but also toasted bread, a touch of butter and a hint of vanilla.

Pairing

Cured ham and balls of melon, foie gras mi-cuit, guinea fowl with mushrooms, matured cheeses, apple tart…

Recommendations

Serve between 10 and 12°C
Aging potential: At least 10 years.
