White Burgundy in the raw.

This 100% Chardonnay from Julien Altaber is like a canary yellow diamond yet to be polished. It sparkles, it’s alive, and maybe even a little rough around the edges. But us folks over here at Domestique think rough edges are quite nice at times, and this is especially with this wine.

Julien Altaber spent his childhood amongst tractors and cows: basically, the guy was a born farmer.
After working his first harvest at 16, he knew that winemaking was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life and interned in Mâconnais and Beaujolais.
Julien eventually got his first winemaking gig working for Catherine and Dominique Derain where he studied Organic and Biodynamic winemaking before starting Domaine Sextant in 2007.
These parcels of Chardonnay are sourced from the commune of Montbellet in Saône-et-Loire and thrive in the limestone and clay soils.
