It comes from a walled monopole at the very top of the L’Étoile appellation, within the historic château property. The site sits at roughly 250–300 meters, surrounded by trees and naturally cooled, giving the fruit a slower, more precise ripening. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is 100% Chardonnay, from 60–70-year-old vines, with a complex mix of sand, clay, silt, limestone and pebbles.
