According to the most widely accepted version, Chardonnay originated in Burgundy. We, however, like to tell this story – once upon a time, the hills of Jerusalem were covered with this vine and from the Hebrew name of the city, ‘Shahar Adonay’, came the term Chardonnay. At the Baite, we make wine in a single variety and leave it to refine itself for 8 months in its yeast. The result is a warm, embracing wine that we love to pair especially with risotto.
