The 2022 Chardonnay Musqué Ancestrale builds on this aromatic and textural small-lot exploration from 2020 and 2021. This vintage was shaped by a growing season of balance—ample warmth to encourage full aromatic development, yet tempered by cool nights that preserved freshness and vitality. We carefully managed yields and fine-tuned vineyard practices to enhance these qualities. The result brims with floral intensity and ripe stone fruit, reminiscent of Muscat and Gewürztraminer, yet framed by the refined elegance of Chardonnay. A gentle skin maceration before pressing enriched the texture, while native fermentation carried seamlessly into the bottle, creating a delicate effervescence that amplifies its layered complexity.
