Bourgogne Chardonnay
Bourgogne Blanc is a blend of Chardonnay grapes from various origins; this allows it to benefit from the northern wines’ freshness, minerality, and vigor; the Macon and Côte Chalonnaise wines’ fullness and roundness, and the Côte d’Or wines’ power and complexity.
Wine Production
The grapes are first sorted and then pressed when they arrive at the winery. The musts are settled and then vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats using selected yeasts. The vinification temperature is between 16° and 18°C, allowing optimum extraction of the wine's aromatic potential. Aging continues in stainless steel vats for 80% of the blend and in oak barrels for the remaining 20%, on the lees for 6 to 8 months. Malolactic fermentation is complete, making the wine more supple.
Tasting Notes
Golden white. The bouquet is expressed with notes of citrus, white flesh fruits, and a touch of minerality. Pleasant sweetness on the palate, offering a velvety texture, with good integrated acidity. Racy and well balanced.
Food Pairing
Ideal with a warm French Comté cheese tart, a poultry salad, fresh pasta, pig’s feet, pâté in pastry crust, or fish and chips.
