Beautiful now, but will develop greater complexity over 4–6 years in bottle.

Bois de Lalier is a classic white Burgundy with a Côte Chalonnaise soul—ripe, polished, and refreshingly lively. With its balance of fruit, oak, and tension, it’s a wine that brings both richness and precision to the glass. A hidden gem for lovers of refined Chardonnay.
