The Chardonnay is the grape variety of our Bourgogne Blanc:
- Density of at least 10 000 feet/ha.
- Guyot or « cordon de Royat » type pruning.
- Manual harvest.
- Yields of 60 hl/ha in a standard year.
Golden white colour with emerald highlights, limpid, and bright.
The honest and frank bouquet is expressed on notes of citrus, white flesh fruits, on a touch of minerality that brings tension.
The mouth, very pleasant, in the sweetness, offers a velvety texture, pleasant, with a good integrated acidity. A racy and well balanced wine.
This wine will be ideal with a warm French Comté cheese tart, a poultry salad, fresh pasta, pig’s feet, pâté in pastry crust, or fish and chips.
Serve at a temperature of about 13-14°C. (55-57°F.).
Enjoy now or in the next two years.
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.
Our 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.
The grapes are sorted upon arrival at the wineries and immediately pressed.
The musts collected are settled and then placed in a thermo-regulated stainless steel tank to be fermented with selected yeasts.
The vinification temperature is controlled (16° to 18°C) to allow optimal extraction of the aromatic potential.
Ageing continues in stainless steel vats (80% of the cuvee) and in barrels (20% of the cuvee -oak) for 6 to 8 months on lees.
