100% Shar-do-NAY
Chardonnay may be the most versatile white wine grape, often seen as a blank canvas. It displays various flavors and aromas depending on where it is grown and more specifically, how it is made. It can range in Palate Character from Bright & Crisp to Rich & Full depending on the climate. It is also particularly malleable and highly affected by winemaking choices like as malolactic fermentation, lees stirring, barrel fermentation and ageing practices.

Vincent Cuillier

Pouillon, Champagne, France


The Vincent Cuillier domaine is a family-run affair with 4.5 hectares manually farmed with grapes picked by hand from 3 distinct terroirs. 


The plots are divided in the Reims, Pouillon, and Chernay with a mix of limestone, micro fossils, clay, and sandy soils with each terroir more suited to one grape than another. 
Vinification is done in a mix of stainless steel and oak barrels depending on the vintage with the ultimate goal of revealing the ultimate expression of the fruit. 

All grapes are rigorously hand-harvested with only natural yeasts used, yielding mineral-driven precise wines that feature the best of their respective terroir.
