The nose shows step by step floral and fruity aromas. A vanilla hint in the end with a lingering finish: those are typical Chardonnay aromas.

Winemaking is adapted in order to enhance Chardonnay aromas. Manual harvest of very ripe grapes. Selection of the best grapes on a vibrating sorting table, light pressing. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in cold stainless-steel vats.
Ageing is done on fine lees during 3 to 5 months. About 5% of the wine has its alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in oak barrels (new, one, two or three wine barrels) with a weekly “Bâtonnage” (lee stirring) during 6 months. At the end, the wine in the barrels is blended with the wine in vats.
The wine is estate bottled.

wine enthusiast 92 pts"Pierres Dorées is a premium, age-worthy category of wine in Beaujolais, and it is worth seeking out for bottlings like this one. Quince, red-apple chutney, clove and fresh brioche aromas fill the nose along with white flower blossom and dried orange peel. The playful mix of tart and ripe orchard fruit on the palate is undergirded by a streak of acidity that runs through the center of the wine which completes with a lift of citrus. — Reggie Solomon"
