Description

Domaine de Montbourgeau l'Etoile 'En Banode' 2022The finesse of the regular cuve of LEtoile plays counterpoint to this cuve, En Banode which is a field blend of Chardonnay and Savagnin from a single vineyard source. Not produced every vintage, the En Banode is more full bodied and rustic than the regular LEtoile bottling and it reflects the special soil characteristics (the grey and blue marne) that are best for planting the finicky Savagnin grape. The En Banode bottling occurs after 30 to 36 months
