Paul Buisse Cremant De Loire Sparkling France Sauternes Our 2016 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay

Our 2016 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay showcases the appellation and our vision for this wine beautifully

Some of the grapes are not separated from the stems before pressing in order to obtain a slight increase in tannins

The aging is carried out for 15-18 months also in French oak barrels

The bottles are laid on wooden lattes racks for 12 months to mature, resulting in a very delicate, aromatic wine
