The Arbois Chardonnay les Bruyères was produced with grapes grown on clay soils from the Trias period and matured in barrel for two years. It's quite fresh for a concentrated vintage, given the low yield provoked by the spring frost that decimated the crop. All these 2017s show very good freshness and less alcohol than most wines from the year. It combines power and elegance and comes through as terribly balanced and tasty.
