More serious and layered, the VDP Cotes Catalanes Novellum is a crazy value that needs to be tasted to be believed. 100% Chardonnay that comes from two separate vineyards, this Cotes Catalanes is aged three months (on Viognier lees) in a combination of Burgundy barrels and stainless steel. Exotic and perfumed, with ample white peach, cream, brioche and subtle nuttiness.
