Description
The Burgundian barrel-Chardonnay reference: it ferments steadily and then slows to a crawl near the end, which is what you want for a long lees contact. Autolysing early, it gives butter, toasted bread, honey and hazelnut. Nitrogen demand is high — underfeed it and the last few points drag on for weeks.
