Among the most accurate and radiant expressions of Burgundian chardonnay, the Bourgogne Chardonnay, Couvent des Jacobins 2023 by Louis Jadot embodies a vision of balance and purity. This historic cuvée, shaped by exacting know-how, stands out for its vibrant freshness and caressing texture, evoking the length of great white wines from the Côte d’Or. It is aimed at enthusiasts seeking a precise dry white wine capable of combining fruit brightness with the depth of meticulous élevage. Thanks to a fermentation partly conducted in oak barrels, the wine gains relief, suppleness and aromatic complexity, without ever losing its intrinsic tension. At the table, it forms a true link between restraint and generosity, a signature that fits naturally both at a refined dinner and a cosy Sunday meal when you want to elevate the moment with a reliable, elegant and timeless bottle.

Assemblage et vinification

Made from 100% chardonnay, this Bourgogne AOC draws its personality from a set of parcels carefully selected on the terroirs of the Côte d’Or, Chalonnais and Viré-Clessé. The style is built around a traditional vinification, with a partial oak barrel fermentation to provide structure, fine textures and aromatic complexity, complemented by fermentations and élevages in stainless steel tanks that preserve fruit purity and freshness. An ageing of about ten months ensures the wood is properly integrated, never overpowering the profile. Precise and patient blending work brings together the different terroir expressions to craft a singular harmony, where mineral thread, citrus drive and fleshy fruit meet in a clear, readable and lasting definition.

Notes de dégustation

• Appearance : Bright yellow, perfectly clear, shining like a satin cloth catching the light, announcing a wine both energetic and well-crafted.
• Nose : Expressive bouquet of ripe citrus, yellow plum and apricot, lifted by delicate toasty nuances and a hint of vanilla. With aeration the range opens up to fine hazelnut, white flower and a breath of warm stone.
• Palate : Generous attack, silky texture and firm backbone. The balance plays between fruity generosity and a straight acidity, for a harmonious finish lengthened by smooth, well-integrated oak notes.

Température de service et conseils

This wine reveals its precision and elegance fully between 10 and 12°C, served in Burgundy-style white wine glasses to enhance aromatic expression and tactile softness. Opening a few minutes before service allows the toasty and vanilla notes to harmonise with the fruit, offering a broader, more nuanced reading of the bouquet. Store bottles in a cool, dark and stable cellar, protected from vibrations. With a cellaring potential until around 2030, this vintage will gain depth and complexity over time while remaining perfectly approachable in its youth thanks to its chiseled freshness and gently poised creaminess.
