Les Empreintes 2012 unites Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the storied soils of Chavot, each vine bearing the signature of its birth year—Chardonnay from '57 and Pinot Noir from '83. Cultivated biodynamically, this blend ferments and ages gracefully in oak, steering clear of malolactic to preserve the vibrant fruit essence. The result? A dazzling display of tangerine, papaya, and a whisper of ginger, all resting on a bedrock of stark minerality. With just a 4 g/l dosage, it's crisp, poised, and deeply reflective of its terroir.
