Bourgogne Terroir d'Exception 2024, the grace of a great Chardonnay with a finely chiseled signature

Elegance, uprightness, brightness, this is the promise delivered by this Burgundy AOC made from Chardonnay, crafted for lovers of precise emotion and inspired gastronomy. It is aimed at those seeking a white wine that is both refined and expressive, capable of accompanying selected moments as well as the finest table pairings. Its origin, a limestone terroir sculpted by marls and scree, steers the wine towards noble tension, vibrant minerality and measured depth. Vinification and ageing on fine lees, with 30% new oak, produce a silky substance where the wood frames the wine without ever dulling the fruit’s brightness. The intense golden robe announces a delicate nose of yellow fruits, lifted by toasted and honeyed nuances, while the palate, long and saline, stretches over luminous citrus. An exceptional creation that transcends the ordinary to reveal the art of French living.

Calcareous terroir, careful vinification, pure expression

This white Burgundy AOC comes from a 0,87 hectare parcel located on the lieu-dit des Perrières, east-facing, where limestone soil mixed with scree and marls favors brightness, uprightness and minerality. The Chardonnay grape expresses itself here with restraint and precision, supported by vinification and ageing on fine lees that preserve the sap and structure of the wine. The use of 30% new oak provides subtle architecture and an enveloping mouthfeel without masking natural freshness. The colour is golden, intense and luminous. The nose, fine and pure, unfolds on yellow fruits edged with toasted and honeyed notes. On the palate, minerality asserts itself with elegance, freshness extends into a saline drive, citrus brings a lively tension, and the whole gains length on a clean and precise finish. Recommended serving temperature, 12 to 14°C.

At the table, the perfect pairing feels obvious

The finesse of this Chardonnay naturally pairs with precise cuisine. It shines at aperitif alongside warm gougères, deftly accompanies a Saint-Pierre steamed with citrus, converses with roasted poultry with clear juices, or matches vegetable dishes accented with fine herbs. Its saline freshness and subtle oak make it at home across the table, from relaxed sharing moments to refined dinners where the wine’s accuracy echoes the dish’s precision.

Signature, serenity and confidence
