What to Expect

While Burgundy is renowned as the home of Pinot Noir, it is also the source for the ubiquitous Chardonnay grape. In these gently rolling hills Chardonnay achieves some of its most profound expressions. Appellations such as Meursault, Montrachet, and Corton Charlemagne proudly take their place among the most sought-after in all the world of wine. With a richness and complexity few wines can match, Chardonnay from Burgundy adds classic hints of flinty and chalky soil with nuances tones of nuts, cinnamon, honey and butter to the rich, sometimes unctuous but rarely heavy, ripe orchard fruits that the grapes are capable of providing. White Burgundy can improve in the bottle for decades and is arguably the most age-worthy dry white wine in the world.

Winemakers Notes

Tasting Notes: With its lemon colouring, this cuvee catches the light the light, attractively. The the nose sharply evokes freshness with some floral notes (hawthorn, acacia) then opens on to a register of generous fruits: white peaches, apricot and orange marmalad. From this very well-balanced wine, the freshness of the Â"noseÂ" is confirmed on the palate, fixed by an omnipresent alcohol. The aromatic personality is very close to that of the grape, resembling the chardonnay berry at the point of maturity, offering aromas of orange pulp, and white flowers. The medium length read more...will allow the wine to open over time. Offer this wine as an aperitif , together with a salmon in a fennel seed sauce or a plump fish in a beurre blanc (possibly flavoured with aniseed or coloured with saffron), and a goat's cheese.
