In 2107 and 2019 the Bornard vineyards were hit by massive frosts and they lost 85% of their crops. So, they made the difficult decision to combine all their Chardonnay and all of their Ploussard into one cuvée for each grape variety. Unfortunately this is the third time we have received this cuvée. Only made in years with severe frost it represents all the estate’s Chardonnay – from the parcels that normally make Les Gaudrettes, Blanc de la Rouge, and Chardo Gai. In 2017, 2019 and now again in 2021 the frost was so severe that the only way to have enough juice to make a wine was to combine everything. The wine was directly-pressed then aged in barrels which were topped up. – Living Wines, Importer
