Bordeaux, France · Château Croix de Labrie · 100% Chardonnay
A playful rarity: Chardonnay from a Saint-Émilion family, labelled simply Vin de France because Bordeaux rules say so.
Delivered in ~30 minutes, anywhere in Monaco
Chardonnay is not an allowed Bordeaux grape, so when Axelle and Pierre Courdurié planted it beside their Saint-Émilion vines, the wine had to be labelled plain Vin de France. That playful spirit fills the bottle: fresh lemon and green apple with a gentle creaminess, easy to love from the first sip. The little figure on the label was drawn by their daughter Camille when she was seven.
