Domaine Emmanuel Fellot -- Bourgogne Blanc

Winegrowers for 6 generations, Manu and Nadège Fellot and their family work their 20 hectares of vineyards in Beaujolais & Brouilly. Having converted to organic farming 3 years ago, their passion for the terroir brings more biodiversity to their vineyards. Self-proclaimed peasants at heart, they also raise organic cows that provide manure to bring more life and health to their soil.

New-world style in old-world clothes. The French oak aging on this Chard really comes through in a lovely, if surprising, way.
