This dry, medium-bodied Chardonnay is fruit-forward and herbaceous. Round yet zesty and filled with light. It’s supple and lush, yet pulsing with vibrant energy with a combination of rich fruit and soft salinity.
Whole-cluster pressed, and aged in both old foudre and concrete.
Francois Morissette trained in Burgundy, and makes some of the most interesting wines in Canada. This wine is from the High Home Vineyard in the Creek Shores appellation which uses organic methods. The wine’s name “Fougue,” denotes enthusiasm, verve, fiery courage-qualities you will also find within the bottle.
