DESCRIPTION
|
Burgundy's vineyards date back to the Gallo-Roman era, but were abandoned for many years. Thanks to the monks from the Abbey of Cîteaux, well-known for the quality of their work in the vines and their knowledge of terroir, these vineyards were developed from the XIth century. |
|
WINEMAKING
|
Domaine Faiveley vinifies it Bourgogne Chardonnay from grapes grown in the domain's vineyards as well as selected grapes and musts from its partner winemakers. We have been carring out some quality controls allowing us to assure ourselves of the quality of the grapes and the professionalism of the producers we are in partnership with. The wine is matured for 8 to 10 months in our cellars in Nuits-Saint-Georges. Part of the cuvee, which varies depending on the vintage, is aged in oak barrels. These barrels come from high-quality barrel-makers and have been rigourously selected for their fine grain and light toast. |

TASTING
|
A brilliant pale greenish-yellow colour. The very nice expressive nose has white flower scents. The attack is bold and generous. This wine, which is balanced on the palate, has good volume and quite exceptional long-lasting scents and tastes for a Bourgogne blanc. This is a good value wine that can be enjoyed from now on. Serve with Fish terrine, fish 'en papillotes' (in foil), white meat Serve at 10°C to 12°C Cellaring Potential 3 to 5 years : : : Domaine |
