For this vintage, we harvested exclusively the Dijon Clone 76. The 2016 Gran Moraine Chardonnay provides ripe golden apple and Asian pear fruit. With just 17% new oak influence and modest lees stirring employed, this wine has a round texture and mouthfeel, yet is clean and crisp. Malolactic fermentation contributed balanced acidity.
