Pral Beaujolais Blanc 2022

Blend: 100% Chardonnay

Aging: 8 months in concrete tanks

An uncommon and thrilling kind of terroir for Chardonnay, down in granite-rich Beaujolais. Its bright gold color and aromas of white flower, apple, and exotic fruits have a bright, clear focus that’s impossible to miss just on the nose. That’s even more the case on the palate, where its round, silky texture and lightly nutty finish throw these dazzling flavors into sharp relief. Fantastic with grilled oysters or chicken, Camembert, and hearty salads.

In the heart of the Pays des Pierres Dorées in the southernmost tip of the Beaujolais region, Domaine Marion Pral practices ecological farming on their 45 acres of vines. The estate is located in the hamlet of La Roche in Saint-Laurent-d’Oingt, 10 miles from Villefranche, capital of the Beaujolais. Pascal Chatelus, his wife Marion Pral, and their family have been farming the estate for several generations. All vineyards are located on granite-based south and southwest-facing hillside soils. Harvests are done by hand.
