Description

This Chardonnay is full of Life! A bouquet of citrus aromas, followed by honey and vanilla. The palate is spontaneous and striking. A really charming pour.

LaForêt Bourgogne Chardonnay is made with the Chardonnay grape coming from the whole of Burgundy. It is often the entry level wine leading to the great white Burgundies: to drink it provides the simple pleasures of a classic Burgundy.

This vintage produced wines of various styles, some with a rather high acidity level, others offering roundness.The main factor has been the frost. The vines hit by this severe spring frost very often matured later, giving fairly nervous wines, whereas the plots spared by frost reached a more precocious maturity. Many beautiful wines in this multi-faceted vintage.

Composed like a perfume. Made with Véronique Drouhin and the blend of LaForêt, creates a good palette of aromas and flavours. Bourgogne Nord Auxerrois, for the freshness and character, and the Côte d'Or for finesse and elegance, the Mâconnais to the south for the charm and fruitiness. With this structure, LaForêt is a faithful wine, which the winemaker rediscovers these traits from year to year.

Food Pairing: Ideal as an aperitif or along side grilled fish or scallops.
