The Beaurepaire comes from two different parcels in the same vineyard – one lower-elevation plot rich in clay and one higher-elevation plot with more limestone and minerals combine to create complexity in this wine. Traditionally, plots of different elevations are harvested at different times due to differing ripeness levels. However, to create this balanced Chardonnay, all fruit was harvested at the same time.
