Organic Bourgogne Chardonnay
Location
The wine is made from grapes from selected vineyards throughout the Bourgogne appellation, primarily in the Saône-et-Loire, Côte de Beaune and Yonne.
Soil
Though the terroirs are very diverse, all of the soils are a mix of clay and limestone. The vines are planted in a north-south axis with varying exposure to the sun and at varying altitudes. These factors all contribute to this wine’s aromatic complexity.
Grape variety
100 % Chardonnay.
Vinification
Vinification takes place at 20°C in temperature-controlled tanks to preserve all of the varietal’s freshness and aromas. The wine is mainly aged in vats for 10 to 12 months on the lees with stirring.
Robe
Beautiful pale yellow in colour with brilliant highlights.
Nose
Very fresh and expressive, revealing balsamic and mentholated notes.
Palate
Pure and direct, expressing the advanced ripeness of the grapes.
