Constance Bourgogne Chitry, 2020

From the next village over from Chablis, on the same chalky limestone: if you like Chablis, start here.

Olivier Morin left the music industry in 1992 to take over his family's domaine in Chitry-le-Fort, a medieval village close to Chablis. Constance is his Chardonnay from the small Bourgogne Chitry appellation, grown on the same chalky Kimmeridgian and Portlandian limestone as its famous neighbour and farmed organically without certification. Fermented and aged in stainless steel tank, it keeps things pure: citrus and a touch of honey, flowers, a round, silky middle held up by fresh acidity and a mineral finish.
