Bourgogne Chardonnay

Paul Gayot
A bright, easy-going white from the heart of Burgundy, crafted by a house that knows its chardonnay inside out. The 2023 vintage brings ripe orchard fruit — think white peach, green apple and a touch of citrus zest — wrapped in a gentle, creamy texture. Grapes come from limestone-rich parcels that give the wine its lovely freshness and mineral lift. Vinification is kept clean and precise, with just enough time on fine lees to round things out without masking the fruit. Serve it chilled with roast chicken, goat's cheese or simply on its own. Honest, charming and seriously good value.
