easy going skinsy wine with just the right amount of grip

Domaine Ratte, Chardonnay 'Grand Curoulet' 2023 Richer easy going skinsy wine withPlace: Jura, France Grape: Chardonnay Vibe: Ultra Pure Fruit from a small plot of biodynamically farmed old vines. The Grand Curoulet slope is largely fossil rich, limestone based soils. A fact that becomes extremely evident in the glass.

Stunning. Lip
