Born in the rolling landscapes of south Burgundy, the Bourgogne Chardonnay - Sieur Aubry 2024 from Domaine du Mont Verrier celebrates Chardonnay in its clearest expression. Here, the subtle balance between clay and limestone soils, biodiversity-friendly viticulture and masterful winemaking creates a white wine that is both precise and vibrant. Its bright golden-yellow robe catches the light like a satiny veil, while the bouquet, carried by white fruit and a mineral thread, reflects an unforced elegance. For lovers of refined wines with a crystalline soul, it offers an honest interpretation of the grape variety, free of artifice, designed for perfect table pairings and pure tasting emotion. Awarded Gold medals in several tasting competitions, it stands as a reliable choice—accessible yet highly gastronomic—best enjoyed now for its freshness or cellared for a few years to develop a more patinated harmony.

Assemblage et vinification

Made exclusively from Chardonnay and classified Bourgogne AOC, this wine comes from parcels on clay-limestone soils within a committed family estate, certified HVE niveau 3 since 2019. Harvest is manual, pressing is gentle and vinification is carried out at low temperature to preserve aromatic freshness and fruit integrity. The decision to avoid malolactic fermentation highlights the vintage's natural energy, while the 5 to 8 months ageing in stainless steel tanks keeps a crystalline purity, without oak. This minimalist, terroir-driven approach delivers a clear expression of the variety, where mineral tension, delicate flesh and aromatic precision intertwine, for a long, digestible finish.

Notes de dégustation

• Colour : Bright, clear golden-yellow with luminous highlights, suggesting pure substance and vibrant energy. The brightness of the hue reflects stainless-steel ageing and the pursuit of an unadorned expression true to the fruit's freshness.
• Nose : Upright and refined, it unfolds clean white fruits—pear and crisp apple—lifted by a chalky imprint and a very subtle creamy touch. With aeration, hints of bright zest and white flowers appear, a signature of healthy fruit and precise winemaking.
• Palate : Straight and lively on the attack, with a mineral through-line, a chiselled mid-palate and then an airy extension. The restrained, refined acid framework stretches the finish and leaves a delicate saline impression that invites food, conversation and a second sip.

Température de service et conseils

Serve this Bourgogne Chardonnay at 13°C in a wide white-wine glass to reveal its texture and aromatic range. Open the bottle a few minutes before serving to let the bouquet develop. In the cellar, store it lying down, away from light and temperature fluctuations. Its 3 to 5 years cellaring potential will allow more developed notes to emerge, where the fruit rounds out and the minerality gains complexity.

Accords mets et vin

• Aperitifs : delicate fish rillettes, light gougères, crisp vegetables with lemon cream.
• Starters : sea bass carpaccio, sea bream ceviche, salmon tartare with fresh herbs.
• Main courses : grilled fish or cooked en papillote, shellfish and crustaceans, roast poultry with natural pan jus.
• Cheeses : aged Comté, Beaufort, ash-rinded goat cheese, dairy affinities that highlight the wine's tension.
• Desserts : thin citrus tart, lemon shortbread, lightly sweet options that respect its freshness.
