The Côte des Bar is Pinot country, but there is a growing appreciation for Chardonnay in the region. This makes complete sense as, at a glance, the soils reveal themselves to be nearly identical to those you find in Chablis – rocky, Kimmeridgian, and Portlandian clay and limestone. Davy Dosnon is a fan of Chardonnay and makes a small (in volume) Blanc des Blancs cuvée that is broad and rich in texture but with a pinpoint minerality that more than references Chablis with bubbles.
