Michel Gahier Arbois Blanc Chardonnay Les Crets 2023

From Chardonnay planted in soils of marne rouge (which contain more iron than marne blanche), “Les Crêts”, meaning “crest of the hill”, possesses a deeper and more saline personality than “Les Follasses” above. Though it is also topped up during its two-year passage in 400-liter barrels, “Les Crêts” displays the layered character and the endlessly ringing finish more commonly associated with wines aged under veil.
