From: Burgundy, France
Varietal: 100% Chardonnay
Tasting Notes: The first impression on the nose is delicately expressive, with citrus notes of lemon, grapefruit, and other tropical fruits. Next come delicate notes of white blossom and white rose that bring a certain aromatic complexity around a core of orchard and white peach fruit. With body, length, and balance, this is a rounded wine that gradually grows more taut on the finish.
Pairing: With its sunny aromatic character and smoothness on the tongue, this wine makes a natural pairing with all kinds of goat cheeses, such as the traditional AOC Mâconnais or its neighboring Charolais for a terroir-themed aperitif. Follow with grilled Bresse chicken supremes or mixed fried fish from the Saône.
Vigneron from father to son for generations, the domain Fabrice Larochette operates 10.70 hectares of vines. Located in southern Burgundy on the slopes of Chaintré. The terroir is worked on in accordance with old traditions, and with the technical developments of today.
