ageing : Even at a young age it drinks superbly, but saving some for 2001 would be very wise indeed.
about the harvest: 100% Chardonnay grapes were harvested in the early morning to ensure coolness.

in the cellar : 45% of the wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks. The remaining 55% was barrel fermented predominantly 1st fill, it underwent malolactic fermentation and was left on the lees for 10 months. It was then blended and fined before bottling.
