Bourgogne Chardonnay "Secret de Famille"

Our Burgundy Chardonnay "Secret de Famille" is produced with vines located in Côte d’Or region only, around extremely well-located vineyards on the outskirts of the villages well-known for their white wines (St Aubin, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet...). We treat these wines as if they were white village from the Côte de Beaune where the yields are low of course, with perfectly appropriate ageing.

Tasting

The nose is dominated by hints of citrus and white flowers, and evolve in notes of honey and dried fruits. The mouth is very balanced, skillfully blending vivacity and roundness.

Food/wine pairing

With a meal, this Burgundy Chardonnay "Secret de Famille" will use the charms of its aromatic palette on seafood, fish cooked in sauce or simply-prepared white meats.

Serving and keeping

Serve at 12°C. (54°F)
Ideally should be drunk when in the full fruitiness of its youth or can be laid for a few years to enhance its more complex brioche hints.
