Description

Bouard-Bonnefoy is not just any wine estate. This tiny, artisanal family wine estate in Chassagne-Montrachet can proudly call itself the court supplier of none other than absolute elite winemaker Pierre-Yves Colin Morey. That says something about the quality of the grapes from this house!

From a small part of their yield, Fabrice and his daughter Clara (who also interned with Pierre-Yves) make a modest amount of their own wines. Chassagne is their specialty, with this 'entry' as a delicious calling card.

The Chardonnay grapes come from several own plots in Chassagne-Montrachet, from younger plantings to about 20 years old. After the manual harvest and pressing with the old wooden vertical press, fermentation and maturation take place in oak barrels. The wine matures for a year in barrels, 20% of the barrels are new.

The result is a pure, refined Chassagne. The nose is complex, with notes of yellow fruit, toast and a hint of honey. The taste is ripe and fruity, with a nice balance between a creamy texture and lively freshness. A classic with fish in butter or creamy Burgundy cheeses.

Drinking at

Beautiful, luxurious, dry white wine to combine with refined dishes, such as risotto with langoustine, grilled sole with butter and mushrooms, or oven-baked quail.

Tasting note

Complex white wine with aromas of yellow apple, melon, pineapple, toast, burnt butter and dill. Powerful, full and intensely fruity in taste with stimulating acidity and a creamy texture. The finish is long with hazelnut and fine bitters.

Shelf life

Drink from 2 years and keep for up to 10 years after harvest.
