Le Bourgogne Chardonnay 2018
Grape Variety : Chardonnay
Soil : Clay and limestone
Site : Côte Chalonnaise, Côte d'Or and more specifically Côte de Beaune.
The Vintage 2018 : After a rainy winter, a heat wave in April followed by a cold period in May, the weather settled down in Burgundy with warm temperatures in June. Summer was warm and dry with a few heat waves. The harvest started in the last days of August with an excellent maturity of the grapes. The white wines are well-balanced with notes of exotic and pale fleshed fruit.
Tasting : Pale gold colour. Delicate floral fragrances mixed with citrus fruit and exotic fruit on a hint of minerality. Well-structured and tense. Refreshing aftertaste.
Food pairing : Pâté, fish, charcuterie, and many goat cheeses.
