Chardonnay 24M Oak 2023 is DRAP's most classical expression, proving that natural wine and precision can go hand in hand. Made from Chardonnay grown in a 40-year-old vineyard in Baden, Germany, the wine spends an extraordinary 24 months ageing in a single ex-Burgundy barrel, developing remarkable depth while preserving the freshness of the fruit.
Origin: Baden, Germany Grapes: 100% Chardonnay Style: Rich, buttery white Year: 2023 Alcohol: 12% Vinification: Handpicked Chardonnay from a 40-year-old vineyard on volcanic soils. Aged for over 24 months in a single ex-Burgundy Chardonnay barrel, resting on its lees throughout élevage. Bottled unfiltered, without additives.
Long ageing builds layers of ripe orchard fruit, preserved lemon, toasted hazelnut and gentle spice, while extended lees contact adds a creamy texture and remarkable length. The volcanic soils provide freshness and mineral tension, keeping the wine beautifully balanced despite its richness.
Chardonnay 24M Oak is a patient, age-worthy Chardonnay that celebrates the harmony between fruit, oak and time. A superb companion to roast poultry, buttery fish dishes, mushrooms or mature Alpine cheeses.

WHAT TYPE OF GROWERS WE WORK WITH
OIur wines are a reflection of nature's truest form. We partner only with biodynamic vineyards—places where vines are nurtured with a reverence for the earth and a deep respect for natural rhythms. These vineyards view the soil not as a means to an end but as a living, breathing ecosystem. By working in harmony with the land, they cultivate wines that are as alive as the soils they spring from.
Our wines hold the pure expression of the vine, untouched by chemical interference and guided by the wisdom of traditional methods. Each bottle carries an honest snapshot of its origin: the seasons, the hands that tended the vines, and the character of the soil itself. These are wines with a pulse, honest and unapologetic, offering a taste of nature in its unaltered state.
