Story
Emmanuel Fellot took over his family estate after several generations of winemakers before him. His land is located between the hills of Brouilly and the Nizerand valley, with a cellar composed of old stones. The Beaujolais from this area are the most rare, composing only 5% of the appellation’s total production.
Vineyard
This vineyard is situated in Southern Beaujolais, with vines planted on limestone composed of 45% active chalk. The Chardonnay is sourced from La Croix du Bois, a 3.5 acre plot sitting at 250m in elevation with an easterly exposure.
Vinification
The fruit is pressed instantly upon arrival with settling period of 18 hours. From there, the clear juice is racked and fermented at a slow pace. The wine goes through malolactic fermentation as long as the vintage sees fit. The wine is aged for 6 months on fine lees in stainless steel vats, and is lightly filtered before bottling.

Food Pairing
