Produced by Les Cretes, a family-run winery that has cultivated a passion for heroic viticulture for six generations. 0.75 L bottle, 2023 vintage. A wine born from the encounter between Costantino Charrère and Count Gagnard de la Grange, an eccentric winemaker from Puligny Montrachet. Soft pressing, fermentation in 300-liter French oak barrels toasted using the traditional method, ensuring the perfect balance between wood and wine. Aged on the lees, with continuous bâtonnages for 10 months. Aged 12 months in bottle. Intense and complex on the nose, with aromas of white fruit and distinct notes of Langhe hazelnut and vanilla.
