White Beaujolais represents less than 1% of Beaujolais production. A treasure of rare delicacy, this white is the hidden face of the Pizay vineyard, the pearl of the Château. It has a luminous color and a very intense Chardonnay nose, where white flowers, hawthorn and bramble mingle with a lime-blossom finish. Add to this a fresh, tender palate, and you've got a wine that' s a must-have in this appellation!

not bad without more; lacks roundness and finish; does not leave an indelible memory
