Blend and winemaking

From the Bourgogne AOC appellation, this wine is made from Chardonnay of the 2022 vintage. The winemaking approach favors the aromatic integrity of the fruit, aiming to preserve the frankness of the primary expressions. The ageing, deliberately measured, allows the personality of the grape and the vintage to surface without heavy marks. Here, the work targets clarity, the right tension, and that delicate creaminess that brings depth without ever weighing it down. The buttery sensation appears as a subtle thread, echoing the fine hazelnut, while freshness remains the compass of the profile. The result, clear and true to the house style, is a white that breathes purity, with serene amplitude and an elongated finish. This minimalist and careful approach signs a wine of clarity, conceived for the table and convivial moments, with confident consistency serving drinkability.

Tasting notes

• Appearance: Clear and bright, reflecting a frank youthfulness. The clarity signals a direct profile, while the visual texture suggests a delicate yet well-held body.
• Nose: A nuanced bouquet of white-fleshed fruit, evoking fresh pear and apple flesh, lifted by a fine hazelnut praline and a subtle buttery hint. A discreet floral line, underscored by airy freshness, adds relief and aromatic depth.
• Palate: Gentle attack followed by a rise in precision, with supple matter and a savory core. The balance is organised around a clean acidity that lengthens the finish and a delicately caressing texture. The fruit remains present, enhanced by a buttery sensation that rounds the whole without weighing it down.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve between 10 et 12°C in tulip-shaped white wine glasses to showcase the aromatic expression and weight on the palate. A few minutes of airing allow the hazelnut nuances and buttery note to open gracefully while preserving the fruit’s lively freshness. Store away from light, bottles laid on their side, in a cool and steady cellar. Its cellaring potential is appreciated over 2 à 3 ans, during which it will retain its fruity charm and clean line. For a fuller expression, serve slightly above 10°C to open the texture and awaken the generous notes that underscore the finish.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs: puff pastry bites with aged cheese, delicate fish rillettes, crunchy vegetables and a light herb crème.
• Starters: salmon tartare with citrus, sea bream carpaccio, thin ricotta tart with fresh herbs.
• Main courses: roast poultry with reduced jus, pollock or pike-perch fillet with lemon butter, asparagus risotto with cheese shavings.
• Cheeses: young Comté, mild Tomme, fresh goat cheeses where the milk’s delicacy pairs with the fruit’s freshness.
• Desserts: thin pear tart, lightly sweetened almond biscuit, white fruit salad brightened with a touch of citrus zest.
