Le Bourgogne Chardonnay 2013

Grape Variety : Chardonnay

Soil : Clay and limestone

Site : Côte Chalonnaise, Côte d'Or and more specifically Côte de Beaune.

The Vintage 2013 : After a long winter and a gloomy spring, the summer was warm and sunny but with intervals of violent hail storms. The harvest took place in the last days of September under a bright sunshine. The difficult weather conditions at the beginning of the year and the hail storms have considerably impacted the yields in most of the wine regions but quality is there. The white wines are tense with citrus fruit aromas and a well-shaped acidity.

Tasting : Pale gold colour. Intense aromas of citrus fruit and green almond on a hint of minerality. Well-balanced and well-crafted. Very pure fruit. Well-shaped acidity. Tense and taut with a refreshing finish.

Food pairing : Pâté, fish, charcuterie, and many goat cheeses.
