BOURGOGNE CHARDONNAY 2023

Production area

This ‘vast’ appellation brings together four great regions; Yonne to the north, with its fresh, mineral wines, followed by the Côte d’Or, with its rounder, deeper whites, the Côte Chalonnaise with its pleasant wines, and lastly the Mâcon region to the south, with a range of styles varying with the individual soil and exposure.
Our white Burgundy is made from grapes harvested on different terroirs selected to give a pure expression of Chardonnay in keeping with the House style.

Origins

Burgundy’s soil is clay-limestone based, yet it varies considerably from village to village. It gives the winemaker a part all the more important to play when selecting the grapes : his knowledge will lead him in his selection, to combine the terroirs and chisel the aspects he is looking for : fruit, complexity, roundness, etc. This is particularly true for the Chardonnay varietal which is strongly influenced by the “taste” of the terroir.

Varietal

100% Chardonnay

Tasting notes

COLOR: Bright and clear yellow, with green lights.
NOSE: Wonderfull fruity nose with a hint of white flowers.
PALATE: Great balance between freshness and roundness.

Vinification and maturing

Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks to keep the fruit and freshness. Then, a 6-months-barrel ageing period follows that brings richness and texture to the wine.

Food and wine pairing

This wine can be enjoyed alone, as an aperitif, or during the meal with deli meat platters or fishes with creamy sauces.

Vintage : 2023

The 2023 vintage has been disrupted by a capricious wather all along the year. Despite a warm winter, an unstable spring, and a summer marked by heat pics, cool weather and stormy showers, this vintage offered Burgundy an abundant and gourmet harvest as well as fruity and expressive wines.
