It is a pure, elegant, creamy and lively Chardonnay made according to natural methods. It fully represents the style of Pierre Overnoy, who during his studies and research has experimented with the method of full barrels for white wines and no use of sulphites, in order to obtain pure wines that are as faithful as possible to the terroir of Pupillin.

Intense straw yellow in colour, it expresses on the nose scents of dried fruit and slightly smoky buttery notes. The taste is creamy and enveloping, with a nice minerality and freshness.
