This 'Fromange' bottling is Chardonnay doing what it does best in the Côte Chalonnaise: honest, mineral, unshowy white Burgundy that costs a fraction of its Côte de Beaune cousins while sharing plenty of the same DNA. Expect green apple and lemon, a gentle creaminess from careful oak handling, and a chalky grip on the finish that marks it out as serious rather than simple. "Rare lieu-dit, bright grapefruit and pineapple, fresh and direct." Stewart Pryce, Honest Grapes Wine Club Manager Since taking over in 2021, Kwame Onwuachi and his partners have rebuilt the domaine as a fully organic, mixed farm. High-trained vines, grassed rows, on-site livestock and total nitrogen autonomy all feed into a thoughtful, low-intervention approach. Trained in Beaune after a previous life in San Francisco tech, Kwame brings both discipline and ambition.
