Chardonnay grown on decomposed basalt high in the Auvergne, which is about as far from a generic Chardonnay as this grape gets. Henri Chauvet left a career in banking, trained under Thierry Allemand in Cornas and Jerome Bressy at Gourt de Mautens, and in 2021 took over Annie Sauvat's old estate in Boudes, in the volcanic hills of the Puy-de-Dome; he put the roughly ten hectares into organic conversion straight away. The name is a French idiom, 'a fleur de peau,' meaning raw-nerved or just beneath the skin, and it doubles as a nod to the week the whole bunches spend macerating before a long slow press. Elevage is nine months in used 228- and 400-liter barrels, with native yeasts, no fining, no filtration and only a whisper of sulfur at bottling. Volcanic soil, altitude and a very light hand: a white with smoke and salt where you'd expect butter.
