What it tastes like
The clay-limestone subsoil gives the white wines a freshness but also an opulence of Chardonnay aromas linked to one of the sunniest climates in Burgundy. The wine is very elegant , with subtle aromas around stone fruits (pear and peach) and with floral notes .

The grape
Where it's from
Burgundy
France
The spiritual home of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Burgundy's genius is its obsession with place — every vineyard classified, every nuance of soil and slope mapped and celebrated. Wines of extraordinary elegance, often infuriating scarcity, and occasionally life-changing quality.
