Molland 2018
Region: VdF Bourgogne, France
Grapes: Chardonnay, Aligoté
Style: Deep and mineral white
The wine is made with as little intervention as possible, with native yeasts. Yet the nose contains clarity with nutty and ripe fruits. The fruit is enveloped in a spicy character of ginger and menthol. The taste of ripe yellow plums is uplifting and juicy.
Molland is a vineyard near the head office in Bonnecontre east of Beaune. These are the slopes of the Saône valley. Before the phylloxera crisis, this area was covered with 120 hectares of vineyards. This small piece of vineyard is a small legacy of that period.
