Notes of lemon custard entice you on the nose, then open up to light spice and lime. On the palate, this wine has a creamy créme-brulée texture, with bright and easy minerality on the mid-palate and a long, sophisticated finish. Hints of vanilla, barrel spices, citrus, and lemon are present in this unfiltered, elegant chardonnay.

Ephemeral | Insatiable | Alluring

No 81 refers to the excitement Jean-Charles felt in 1981 when he came to California from Burgundy for the first time. From that trip, he was inspired to make an elegant Chardonnay evocative of the white Burgundies he had grown up with yet undeniably of California provenance.
