The Chardonnay prefers marly-limestone soils that are quite clayey, where it develops all its elegance and smooth flavours. It is the proportion of clay in the soil which determines the more or less aromatic, full style of the great dry white wines of Burgundy.
The Patriarche Bourgogne Chardonnay comes from a balanced blend of 60% grapes from Yonne giving mineral wines, Côte de Beaune giving elegant and fine wines and Côte Chalonnaise (Montagny) giving rich and complex wines; 40 % grapes from Maconnais giving fresh wines. The grapes are bought from wine growers with whom they have enjoyed a long standing partnership with.
The wine is vinified with the traditional Burgundian process. 80 % of the Cuvée is aged in vats and 20 % in oak barrels (1/3 new barrels, 1/3 one-year-old barrels, 1/3 two-year-old barrels) during 9 to 15 months.
Nose: Fresh and fruity with notes of minerals, citrus fruits, dried fruits with pleasant vanilla notes.
Palate: Tender and subtly fruity with a fine texture, bold with a fresh finish.
Food Pairings: Can be served as an aperitif, ideal with starters and more delicate fish and seafood.
Temperature of Consumption: 10°C
