At the crossroads of tradition and contemporary precision, the Bourgogne Chardonnay 2023 - Domaine Faiveley - Bourgogne AOC takes its place on the table as a confident, luminous and clear signature. Aimed at lovers of expressive dry whites, it answers the desire for a wine that is both welcoming and restrained, able to illuminate flavours without overpowering them. Sourced from carefully selected plots between the Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise, it marries a limestone imprint with a savoury flesh, offering a clear reading of the vintage. The golden robe with green nuances opens the aromatic score on a delicately smoky register, where hazelnut meets fresh butter with an appealing purity. On the palate, a honeyed texture pairs with a citrus-driven dynamic; the attack is lively and chiselled, then the finish stretches out long on a delicate lemon note, like a streak of light that highlights the aromatic persistence. It is a table and conversation wine, conceived for moments when one seeks the right match, the clear expression of a great variety and the art of entertaining à la française.

Assemblage et vinification

Composed of 100% Chardonnay de la vendange 2023, this Bourgogne AOC brings together the balance of the Côte de Beaune and the frank energy of the Côte Chalonnaise. At Domaine Faiveley, each step is guided by the pursuit of a faithful expression of the grape, the terroir and the year. Berry ripeness is targeted with precision to preserve Chardonnay’s natural freshness while revealing its caressing texture. Vinification favours clarity and aromatic precision so the fruit can speak without artifice and the framework remains straight. The élevage, carried out with restraint, respects the brightness of the aromas and the purity of the palate, offering a harmonious dry white with a clear, frank and deeply gastronomic profile.

Notes de dégustation

• Robe : golden with green nuances, clear and bright, signalling contained freshness and good ripeness.
• Nez : delicately smoky, driven by notes of hazelnut and fresh butter, with an aromatic clarity that refines with aeration.
• Bouche : supple and honeyed, animated by a lively attack that propels the wine, then an lemony finish that is long and precise, with expressive persistence.

Température de service et conseils

Serve this Bourgogne Chardonnay between 10 and 12°C, a temperature that reveals the delicacy of the nose, the precision of the texture and the citrus tension on the finish. Avoid serving too cold, which would lock the aromas. Opening the bottle a few minutes before tasting allows the smoky bouquet and hazelnut accents to unfold gently. A tulip-shaped glass with a slightly tapered rim will ideally accompany the aromatic expression and the palate presence. Store bottles on their side, away from light and temperature fluctuations, to preserve the wine’s integrity. Enjoyable today, it can be kept a few years in good conditions, allowing the matter to meld and the whole to round out without losing its liveliness. This patience rewards the taster seeking serene and readable harmony.

Accords mets et vin
