Comte Armand Bourgogne Blanc Condemaine

Wine Information
This young 8 year old vine is located on the town of Volnay in a place called "The Condemaines". Planted on a clay are of Volnay that grows mostly Pinot Noir. The introduction of Muscat Chardonnay (Chardonnay small grain from Macon La Roche Vineuse), was audacious but it payed off in this land of rich and deep tradition.

Chardonnay is regulated better in this type of soil, and wines obtained are accurate and a surprising freshness is enjoyed.
