Tasting note Buisonnier Chardonnay

Mildly dry Burgundy with fine ripe fruit and light butter in the aroma. Great to combine with cold starters with meat or fish, but also delicious with poultry and fish dishes from the oven.

Description

In the summer of 2013, hailstorms caused extensive damage in the Côtes de Beaune. The result: a small harvest and rising prices, even for harvest years that are still available. Despite the dramatic reports, we found a classic white Burgundy with an attractive price. A little further south, in the Côte Chalonnaise and near the Vignerons de Buxy, a cooperative of 120 family businesses.

The responsible oenologue Alain Pierre selects the grapes per parcel that are intended for the Buissonnier cuvée. The vineyards are located high on the hills near Buxy on calcareous pebble soil. An ideal basis for a low yield and a concentrated-tasting, long-maturing grape.

Part of the harvest ferments in stainless steel tanks and part in oak barrels. Both wines are assembled before bottling. It is not a complex white Burgundy, but the wine offers a beautiful expression of the chardonnay from the Côte Chalonnaise. With the characteristic accessible round and slightly oily taste.
