Michel Gahier Arbois Chardonnay Les Crets 2020

From Chardonnay planted in soils of marne rouge (which contain more iron than marne blanche), “Les Crêts”, meaning “crest of the hill”, possesses a deeper and more saline personality than “Les Follasses”. Though it is also topped up during its two-year passage in 400-liter barrels, “Les Crêts” displays the layered character and the endlessly ringing finish more commonly associated with wines aged under veil.
