BURGUNDY WHITE WINES

The essence of the Burgundy terroir

Burgundy white wines are the global benchmark for excellence in Chardonnay, embodying the quintessence of the concept of terroir. In this historic region of eastern France, each parcel expresses unique characteristics thanks to the calcareous soils rich in marine fossils formed millions of years ago.

From the chalk of Chablis to the limestone marl of the Côte de Beaune, each area gives Chardonnay expressions that cannot be replicated elsewhere, creating a mosaic of microclimates that results in wines of extraordinary diversity.

Sensory characteristics and pairings

Burgundy whites display an incredible variety of styles: Chablis wines express mineral tension and flinty notes, while Côte de Beaune wines develop depth with aromas of white fruit, hazelnut, and sweet spices. The skillful use of wood, never intrusive in the best expressions, contributes to the structural complexity without masking the territorial identity.

At the table, Chablis wines enhance oysters and raw seafood, while the more structured whites of the Côte de Beaune are a magnificent accompaniment to lobster, fine white meats, and mushrooms.
