This delicious, juicy yet supremely complex Chardonnay smells like buttercups, ripe nectarine, and citrus. With a bold but zesty texture, this is bursting with flavours of stonefruit, rockmelon, and orange, all tied together by a subtle hint of smokiness. The finish is bright and tangy, with a lingering taste pithiness. There's so much going on here!

Domaine Theulot Juillot can claim a history that dates back to the early 1900s when Marguerite and Emile Juillot arrived in Mercurey, in the less fashionable southern Côte Chalonnaise end of Burgundy. Over the years since, while the Côte Chalonnaise has remained less cool, Theulot Juillot's star has continued to rise, especially after Nathalie and Jean-Claude Theulot took over in 1987. Where the Nathalie Theulot label diverges is that instead of just using grapes from the family estate, these wines include grapes from friendly local growers. The label has been a godsend after a succession of hail and frost-smashed years have decimated their crops, allowing the Theulots to deliver expressions of classic Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that rise far above the rest.
