Grape variety
Chardonnay
Burgundy has historically been one of the oldest terroirs of reference for Chardonnay wines.
Our ‘Origines’ cuvée is crafted from grapes hailing from a mosaic of plots that overlie calcareous clay soil, with varying exposure and altitude. The diversity of these terroirs along with careful vinification and ageing allow the Chardonnay grape to produce an aromatic, fresh, round wine.
Tasting

Taste this wine with simply prepared fish and seafood, or white meats and poultry, grilled or served in a light sauce.
Serving and keeping
Serve between 10 and 12°C (50-53°F).
