Domaine de l'Octavin • Reine de la Nuit • Chardonnay + Savagnin • 2018 • Orange Austria Calcarius | Valentina Passalacqua |Taste & Terroir: This is a blend of roughly three quarters Chardonnay and one quarter Savagnin from forty year old vines planted over Jurassic marls in La Mailloche. The grapes were given a direct press straight to cuve for a year of levage. This is the first time weve tried this wine without maceration and it is a remarkable expression of this great terroir, displaying a tightrope balance of power and poise, this will reward drinkers for many years
