A family affair since 1895, the House of Gardet blends grapes from their own vineyards in Chigny-les-Roses with fruit from up to 30 long-standing growers. Their Pinot-dominated Ray Maurin cuvée, guided by winemaker Stephanie Sucheyre, contains 10-20% of reserve wine and ages nearly 3 years before bottling. A low dosage keeps the richly structured blend refreshingly crisp.
