Description
WINEMAKER: Valentin Montanet REGION: Burgundy, FR VARIETY: Chardonnay VITICULTURE: Organic
"La Châtelaine is one of La Cadette’s best cuvées made from the only permitted white grape variety in the newly upgraded Vézelay appellation, namely Chardonnay. The appellation was previously Bourgogne Vézelay but was promoted to Vézelay due to the superior quality of the white wines in this region. The wine comes from grapes from the vineyards on the pretty south-facing slopes of the Vézelay hills which range in age from 25 to 30 years old and which are organically certified. The soil is clay and limestone.
The grapes are harvested by hand and then direct pressed then fermented naturally in stainless steel tanks and two large foudre where the wine is left to mature for 8 to 10 months on lees. The wine undergoes a light, vegan-friendly filtration before being bottled with minimal sulphites added. This is a beautifully-textured wine, showing that white wines of considerable elegance can be produced in this region." - Living Wines

A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
