Winemaker's comments / Gastronomy : This wine is very fruity (peach, pear and grapefruit), developing white flower aromas as well a slight vanilla touch. With a lot of elegance, it is structured, pleasant and harmonious. Bourgogne Chardonnay will be perfect with "hors d'oeuvres", white meats, poultry, sea fruits, grilled fish and goat cheese. It is best served chilled (10/12°C). After several years, more sophisticated aromas will develop and it will go well with more elaborated dishes.
Preservation : This wine can be kept 5 years or more, depending on the vintage and conditions of storage.
