Le Naturiste is only made in the good years, where every grape has the chance to speak for itself and create a formidable chardonnay. On the nose, white flowers and grapefruit are delicately expressed, closely followed by peach and apricot. On the palate there are added notes of Granny Smith apple, as well as a slight pearly side. The attack gives way to a beautiful roundness brought by the aging on the lees, counterbalanced by a lemony freshness on the finish. Le Naturiste has an elegance all its own, which has its roots in our Bousval terroir.
