STORY · REGION · TERROIR
The Manuscript of the Bottle

Kimmeridgian limestone laced with ancient oyster fossils.
— Climate —
Cool, marginal — the northernmost outpost of great Chardonnay.

Stainless steel, no malolactic — purity over polish.
— Lore —
The slope's name — Rising Thunder — comes from summer storms that gather above the river before the harvest.
