description: This enclave of Chardonnay in the Pinot Noir-dominated Vougeot is a curiosity, but a delicious one. It comes from a parcel of chalky soil, first planted by monks in the 11th century. The wine is soft, ripe, dominated by apricot freshness and sweetness, but keeping an edge of spice and crisp final acidity. Imported by Boisset America. Editors' Choice.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Clos du Prieuré Monopole
