Floral, round, balanced and mineral chardonnay from the Auvergne, the volcanic region south of Burgundy that, like the Ardèche, is highly regarded in the natural wine landscape, and which was an important wine region in the nineteenth century until the great phylloxera crisis ended that. The soil there, in combination with the climate, yields clean, delicate and lined wines ... Perfect environment for quite chic chardo.
Jean Maupertuis is the original natural winemaker of Auvergne. Bottles from first his estate, Domaine de Peyra, are now highly sought after collector's items.
