This Bourgogne Chardonnay is the perfect introduction to a boutique producer on the rise, Jean-Baptiste Jessiaume has delivered quality for a price that is hard to find in Burgundy today.
Crafted from hand-harvested fruit, it was barrel-fermented and aged in a mix of large oak vats and smaller barrels, and yet the oak, even at this young stage, is not dominant. It has great concentration with excellent refreshing natural acidity which alludes to it being made from old vines.
In the glass, it is a shimmery gold colour with aromas apple, white peach, citrus, wildflowers and light oak spice. The palate is textured but crystalline, creamy and citrusy, flashy but classic—in short, everything you could ask for in a Burgundy Chardonnay! Drink now to 2027. Match with roast chicken or rich seafood like lobster, scallops or Turbot.
