Chateau des Jacques Jadot Ch Jacq Clos Loyse Chardonnay 750 ML

Clos de Loyse is a 22.3 acres Clos attached to a Castle of medieval origin. It was the land of the Lords of Loyse until 1643 when Carthusian monks took over and cultivated chardonnay there until the French Revolution. Chardonnay vines are grown a few kilometers away from Fuisse yet on a very different terroir from the rest of Southern Burgundy with alluvial soil lying on a granite bedrock, giving its wines a fruitier character. The traditional Maconnais arch pruning allows controlled yields and a perfect acidity/sugar balance.
