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.

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.
