"Delightfully fruited and attractively expressed, the bouquet shows peach, rockmelon, nougat, oatmeal and hazelnut aromas, followed by a succulent palate that is beautifully rounded and supple. The wine offers appealing fruit intensity backed by creamy mouthfeel and refreshing acidity, finishing long and comforting. A brilliantly priced modern Burgundy. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jan 2019

Full of life! A bouquet of citrus aromas, and then we find honey and vanilla. In the mouth, it's funky, spontaneous, striking and very charming!

2017 reveals all the elegance of their white grape varieties. The wines are floral with hints of citrus. They are round, well-balanced, and very attractive. 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 Chardonnay was aged in stainless steel vats for 7-8 months and then later in one to two year old barrels for the wines of higher provenance. Throughout the ageing process, decisions are taken only after careful tasting evaluation. The data obtained is then completed through technical analysis. As with every other Joseph Drouhin wine, absolute priority is given to the true expression of terroir and character of the vintage.

Food Pairing: Match with veggie pizza, fingerfood & sushi. Perfect for a variety of flavours!
