After training in hospitality and then at the Lycée Viticole de Beaune, François d'Allaines spent 3 years in a wine house in Beaune specializing in estate wines.  He founded his own company in 1990 to buy and sell wines that he personally selected. Since 1996, the François d'Allaines house has been responsible for the vinification of grapes and sometimes musts from fine terroirs. Vinification, ageing and bottling are done entirely under his control in the cellars of the estate in Demigny.  Balance and purity, essential to allow the terroir to fully express itself, remain Francois' top priority. The fruit is from 40 year old chardonnay vines and is fermented and aged in French oak. Description -Yellow with green tints.  Nose of yellow fruit (apricot, peach) and almonds. The palate is now very open with slightly exotic notes. Nice integrated oak, leaning towards hazelnut. Lovely minerality. Soft and subtle.  Enjoy with oven baked fish.
