A classic Chardonnay from Southern Burgundy - fine buttery and floral notes on the nose and a wine of substance and finesse on the palate. Some creamy textural notes up front reveal the discreet presence of oak, whilst on the finish there is some underlying minerality and a hint of citrus zestiness that provides long lasting flavours.
FOOD MATCH An admirable accompaniment to the classic Burgundian dish of poulet à la crème (chicken in creamy sauce), or a shellfish chowder. Great with vegetable risotto and pan fried fish, too.
Suitable for vegans.
Suitable for vegetarians.
From a 12 hectare plot in the village of Bussières, to the south of the Mâconnais region, with an
average vine age of about 40 years. The soil is classic argilo-calcaire that suits Chardonnay so well
and that lends elegance and finesse to the final wines. 10% of the wine is barrel aged to give a more
textural, slightly creamy element.
