A case study of White Burgundy; no new oak, with malolactic elements and high acid. Chardonnay in its purest form. 12.5% ABV.

Indian spices and incense. At first impression it tastes like a new school CdP, though with air the Carignan starts imparting a citric layer, especially on the finish. Surprisingly it's only got 13.5% ABV.
