Les Graviers

Domaine Tissot

As the plot’s name suggests, this southwest facing 1.3ha parcel is covered in a limestone heavy gravel. The Chardonnay vines planted between 1952 and 2002 (the latter being Stéphane’s own selection massale when he was concentrating his densities). Fermented and aged in French oak barriques for 16 months (1/3 new). The result is rich in fruit and minerality with a full, elegant and lively mouthfeel. A bottle to lay down for 10-20 years that will also drink beautifully now. Decant one hour, serve at 10-12ºC.
