100% Chardonnay. Pataille has Chardonnay and Aligoté in his 0.17-hectare holding La Charme Aux Prêtres. It’s a beautiful, east-facing, sloping vineyard located at 280 to 320 metres’ altitude. The Chardonnay occupies the top of the slope where the soils are thin, white and rocky. Pataille credits the marl soils here with the smoky, reductive minerality he typically finds in this cuvée. From vines planted in 1949, this wine saw two winters on lees before bottling.
