Premium Feature
Bourgogne Chardonnay wines typically exhibit a harmonious blend of fruit, acidity, and subtle oak influence, resulting in a refreshing and elegant character.
The flavors often include green apple, lemon, pear, and sometimes hints of citrus blossom. Depending on the winemaking style and aging, notes of butter, hazelnut, or vanilla may also be present, derived from malolactic fermentation and oak aging. The acidity provides a backbone and freshness, balancing the fruit and richness.
Premium Feature
Serving Temperature
Serve Bourgogne Chardonnay chilled, ideally between 50-55°F (10-13°C). This temperature allows the flavors and aromas to express themselves without being muted.
Glassware
Use a white wine glass with a slightly narrower bowl than a red wine glass. This shape concentrates the aromas and allows for better swirling and appreciation of the wine.
Aging Potential
While most Bourgogne Chardonnay is best enjoyed within a few years of release, certain bottlings from high-quality producers can benefit from aging, developing greater complexity and depth. Check tasting notes from the wine maker.
