Domaine Michel Gros, Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits, Fontaine Saint Martin Monopole 2020 valmur the layer of yeast/flor inside

the layer of yeast/flor inside these butts (much weakened by the age and lack of nutrients of the wine) is significantly smaller and thinner and can be kept alive on the sole basis of scarce periodic refreshments—acting as barely sufficient barrier between the wine and the intensely oxidizing effect of air

As opposed to the big and bold 'Aussie' wine this is a well-balanced textural Chardonnay fermented with natural yeast and minimal intervention

50% aged in barrel

This is a rich and ripe wine

Vinified using natural yeasts
