2016  

100% Chardonnay.

The area which constitutes the Bourgogne appellation spreads across 384 villages of the Yonne, Côte d’Or, Saône et Loire, and Rhône departments. Starting in the North, from the region of Chablis and Auxerre, to the South in the region of Macon, and passing through the Côte d’Or and the Côte Chalonnaise, the Bourgogne wines stem from very diverse terroirs. This Bourgogne blanc is a blend of Chardonnay grapes from different areas in order to benefit from the freshness, minerality, and liveliness of the northern wines, the structure and roundness of the wines from the Mâconnais and the Côte Chalonnaise, and finally, the power and complexity of the Côte d’Or wines.

Colour: pale yellow with green reflect, limpid and brilliant.
Nose: intense, delicately woody (vanilla) with lemon and citrus aromas, very fresh.
Palate: the mouth is racy with typical flavours of Burgundian chardonnay: citrus, minerality, vanilla, delicately spicy (toasted French oak barrel), ample and generous, a very nice character, very well balanced, delicious.

This wine will be perfect paired with a Comté tart, a plate of cured meats, pigs’ feet, a plate of seafood, or a cheese such as the Beaufort. 

Serve at around 12-14°C.

This wine has to be appreciated when young, 2 to 4 years after the vintage.
