  • Drinking it provides the simple pleasures of a classic Burgundy.

GRAPE VARIETY:

• • 100% Chardonnay

FOOD PAIRINGS:

• • This is a wine to enjoy young, served at 11°-12° C, alone as an aperitif or with light meat or seafood.

TASTING NOTES:

“Fruity and full of life. This is a classic white Burgundy and a good entry level wine for Burgundy in general. The color is golden yellow, with a greenish glint. The aromas are reminiscent of fresh grape and green almond. Elegant texture”. – Véronique Boss-Drouhin
