Hans' meticulous approach begins with hand-harvested grapes, destemmed and partially crushed (30% whole berries) for a cold maceration that draws out the finest flavours. After gentle pressing, the juice ferments naturally in used French oak puncheons, followed by 18 months of lees stirring for unparalleled silkiness and complexity. No cold stabilisation or fining ensures every drop remains pure and vegan-friendly.

Tasting Note: For lovers of Premier Cru Meursault, the 2021 Hans Herzog Chardonnay is a masterpiece of elegance and depth. Bursting with tropical fruit, white flowers, and a whisper of lemon zest, this wine dazzles with silky texture and remarkable concentration. It balances richness with vibrant energy, finishing with a refined minerality that lingers long after the last sip. Naturally ageless, it promises to evolve beautifully with time in the cellar.
