The 2024 Maison Glandien Les Cailloux is a refined white 布根地 (Vin de France appellation) that embodies the finesse and precision of contemporary Côte d'Or winemaking. The name "Les Cailloux" (The Pebbles) refers to the classic Burgundian soils where limestone, clay, and a high proportion of stones dominate, ensuring excellent drainage and deep root penetration. This 100% Chardonnay wine is crafted to showcase a pure, crystalline expression of the grape. Some sources suggest it originates from a single, west-facing vineyard in Rully, with vines planted in the 1980s, undergoing spontaneous fermentation in new foudre and barrels. In appearance, it presents a pale straw color with luminous green highlights, suggesting youth and vibrant acidity. The nose is precise and expressive, offering notes of lemon zest, ripe pear, white peach, acacia blossom, fresh almond, and a light chalky minerality. A discreet touch of vanilla or toasted bread may emerge, indicating careful aging. The palate delivers a lively and direct attack with citrus and crunchy stone fruit, balancing tension and roundness with a fine, almost saline minerality. It is medium-bodied with fresh acidity, a polished texture, and a long, focused finish. Some tasters have noted toasted oak, slight vanilla, peaches, a smoky hint, reduction, eucalyptus, fresh churned butter, bitter citrus, lemon peel, lemon juice, and white melon. 【A refined white Burgundy (Vin de France) showcasing a pure, crystalline expression of Chardonnay from stony, limestone-rich soils】.
