Le Bourgogne Chardonnay 2023, Chanson, Magnums

Three magnums of the house white. The easiest way to make a party look like somebody thought about it.

Terroir The Chardonnay grapes are sourced from across the Burgundy region, more specifically from the sub-regions of Auxerrois, Côte Chalonnaise, and Mâconnais. Domaine Chanson also owns 1.7 hectares in the Côte Chalonnaise and Chassagne-Montrachet. The Vintage 2023 : After a mild winter, beginning of spring was marked by unstable weather conditions, which fortunately enough settled down end May with warm and even very warm temperatures. This situation encouraged a rapid blossoming in excellent conditions. Spring ended with a water deficit which was never compensated. July and August were marked by a succession of very warm temperatures and storms. End of August, a very hot weather settled down with temperatures around 35°C which enabled the grapes to perfect their ripeness. At Chanson, the harvest started on September 5 and ended on September 16. The white wines are very expressive with beautiful aromas of pale fleshed fruit and an outstanding structure.

Winemaking Careful selection of grapes.Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at low temperature (16°) for 15-20 days. Aged in stainless steel vats and French oak barrels (1 to 6 years old, 228L) with classic Burgundian toasting, bringing roundness and delicacy. 10 months ageing.

Tasting Pale gold colour. Aromas of pale fleshed fruit (apple) &menthol notes, mixed with a hint of minerality. Well-structured, precise and straightforward. Refreshing aftertaste.
