Bourgogne Chardonnay
Nature d'Ursulines
This wine is made from selected plots, with no sulfur used during vinification to capture its true nature as closely as possible, with nothing added and nothing taken away.
This results in a natural, pure Burgundy, dense and elegant, its character underscored by a powerful structure with good volume. The unbridled expression of a free wine.
Origin
This wine, Bourgogne Nature d'Ursulines comes for the first time in white! It comes from our Chardonnay contract located in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits in organic viticulture that we have been following since the 2012 vintage. It seemed logical to sublimate this terroir with a sulfur-free vinification.This cuvée is only made in the best years.
This appellation is unique as it is considered to be a regional appellation, though it is limited to a restricted area. The vineyards run parallel to those of the Côte de Nuits (to the west), but are higher in altitude. The soil is composed of limestone outcrops that Chardonnay thrives in and that lend character and lovely freshness to the wine. A generic wine with class!
