2019 Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils Chardonnay, Burgundy, France (750ml)

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

The 1er Cru Chardonnays from Domaine Bernard Moreau are barrel fermented and aged in French oak barrels (10%-30% new). The wine spends between 12 and 18 months in wood with regular lees stirring for added texture. Says Bernard, “The spirit of our winemaking is to not touch the wine too often. For Chardonnay our aim is to produce very clean and precise wines which are not too austere. We like the minerality and purity.”

TASTING NOTES:

The 2019 Bourgogne Chardonnay bursts with aromas of citrus oil, peaches and white flowers. Medium-bodied, perfumed and charming, it derives from parcels in the commune of Chassagne-Montrachet that suffered in this year’s frosts
