Kevin's comments: Elegant style of Chardonnay with a lovely lees weight and balanced oak flavours. Quite a rich style with a touch of minerality on the finish. A petit Meursault.

DOMAINE RENÉ MONNIER
Domaine René Monnier was founded in 1723. The Domaine is now in the hands of the tenth generation of the family who own 16 hectares of vineyards in the best crus of the Côte de Beaune. Great attention is paid to limiting the yields in the vineyards. This guarantees the best possible quality of juice, with the correct balance between fruit and acidity. René Monnier's wines are well known in three star restaurants.
