Enter Perrières, where Chardonnay reaches Grand Cru-level expression through shallow, stony soils and ideal sun exposure. Ballot-Millot's 2020 unfolds with pear, green apple, freshly baked bread, and oyster shell—a sensual, fleshy wine with sophisticated mouthfeel and mineral-driven precision. The style here favors racy tension over honeyed richness, crafted with minimal new oak (25%) to let terroir sing. Arriving in San Francisco soon.
