Domaine Jean-Pierre Maldant Bourgogne Cote D'or Blanc 2022

Domaine Jean-Pierre Maldant Bourgogne Côte d'Or Blanc 2022 – an elegant and delicate expression of Chardonnay from a respected Burgundy house.

Behind wine and terroir

Domaine Jean-Pierre Maldant is located in Ladoix-Serrigny at the foot of the Corton hill on the Côte de Beaune, and is currently run by Pierre-François Maldant. The family has been growing wine here since 1895, using sustainable cultivation, manual harvests and a combination of traditional and modern vinification.
This wine is a regional Burgundy "Côte d'Or Blanc" – a 100% Chardonnay from Ladoix vineyards, more stringently classified than the regular Burgundy label

Production & technical details

The grapes are harvested by hand and gently pressed. Vinification and fermentation take place in wooden barrels with subsequent aging for 8–10 months in oak barrels. The wine has an average vine age of around 40 years, which contributes to depth and complexity

Smell & taste

Color: Light, clear yellow – elegant and inviting

Nose: Floral notes of white flowers such as hawthorn and acacia, complemented by a mineral nuance of silex

Taste: Aromatic and fine with a balanced connection between floral notes and minerality. Full-bodied without feeling heavy

Food matching & serving

Serving temperature: Ideally around 11 °C

Food pairing: Excellent with white fish (especially with butter or lemon sauce), shellfish, charcuterie or as an appetizer.
The light acidity and fine texture make it suitable as an accompaniment to refined, delicate dishes.

Storage potential

The wine is recommended to be enjoyed within 2–3 years of the harvest year – ideally between 2022 and 2025–2026.
