About Nathalie Richez
Nathalie is guided by her deep love of Burgundy, and while it must perhaps be tempting for a newcomer to stamp their wines with an abundance of personality, hers are egoless, unassuming, and strikingly transparent.
Nathalie owns a well-situated parcel of Chardonnay in the commune of Saint-Aubin, just outside the appellation delimitation: a 0.37-hectare planting on a west-facing slope abutting Saint-Aubin’s Champ Tirant vineyard. Fermented spontaneously and aged 12 months in a combination of stainless steel, 300-liter cement egg, and a single 400-liter oak barrel, this is a generous, straightforward, well-balanced white Burgundy full of ripe citrus notes and streaked with cleansing minerality.
