Produced exclusively from Chardonnay, it offers enticing aromas of ripe pear, white peach and lemon zest, complemented by delicate notes of white flowers, toasted hazelnut and subtle oak spice. The palate is generous yet wonderfully precise, combining ripe orchard fruit with a creamy texture, vibrant acidity and fine mineral freshness. A long, elegant finish reveals hints of citrus, almond and gentle savoury complexity. Combining the richness of Chassagne-Montrachet with the finesse of a Premier Cru vineyard, this is a sophisticated white Burgundy with excellent ageing potential. A superb accompaniment to lobster, scallops, turbot, roast chicken, creamy mushroom dishes and mature Comté.

Chassagne-Montrachet Premier Cru, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy – Chardonnay

Chardonnay (100%)

Chardonnay is one of the most versatile and widely planted white grape varieties in the world, renowned for its adaptability to diverse climates and winemaking styles. Originating in Burgundy, where it reaches its most elegant and mineral expression, Chardonnay can range from crisp and steely to rich and opulent, depending on where and how it is made. Its relatively neutral character allows it to reflect both terroir and technique—whether aged in stainless steel for a lean, citrus-driven profile, or in oak barrels to develop notes of vanilla, toast, and creamy texture. Flavours often include apple, pear, lemon, peach, and tropical fruits, with cool-climate examples offering tension and minerality, while warmer regions yield fuller, rounder styles. From Chablis to Napa, Margaret River to Sicily, Chardonnay remains a benchmark for quality and diversity in white wine.

Burgundy - in eastern France, is one of the world’s most revered wine regions, celebrated for its deep-rooted history, complex terroirs, and single-varietal expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Unlike Bordeaux's grand blends, Burgundy focuses on purity and place, with wines that reflect the nuances of individual vineyards—sometimes just a few rows of vines. The region is divided into key subregions: Chablis in the north (crisp, mineral whites), the Côte de Nuits (prestigious reds like Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée), the Côte de Beaune (home to legendary whites like Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet), as well as the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais. With a mosaic of limestone-rich soils and a cool continental climate, Burgundy produces wines of finesse, elegance, and remarkable aging potential. Its system of classifications—from regional to village, premier cru, and grand cru—is rooted in centuries of tradition and terroir-driven philosophy.
