From the foothills of the French Alps, Yves Duport crafts this elegant Chardonnay in the small, mountainous appellation of Bugey, a hidden gem between Burgundy and Savoie. The cool alpine climate and limestone-rich soils bring freshness and precision, while careful, low-intervention winemaking preserves purity of fruit and a true sense of place.

The wine opens with delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus and ripe orchard fruit, underpinned by subtle mineral notes. On the palate, it’s vibrant and well-balanced, with crisp acidity, a smooth texture and a clean, refreshing finish. Both expressive and refined, this is a versatile Chardonnay that pairs beautifully with roast chicken, seafood or creamy pasta dishes. A superb discovery from one of eastern France’s most exciting emerging regions.
