Edouard Delaunay Chardonnay Côte d'Or 2019

Edouard Delaunay Chardonnay Côte d'Or 2019 is a well-balanced wine made from grapes from the famous Meursault and Auxey-Duresse valleys. The grapes are carefully hand-picked, carefully selected and pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery. The must undergoes a cool maceration for 24 hours, after which it is fermented separately in small oak barrels (15% new) for a period of 1-3 months using the grapes' natural yeasts. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 8 months with regular agitation and lightly filtered before bottling.

This Chardonnay from Burgundy presents itself with a light golden color and an inviting aroma, offering floral notes such as orange blossom and acacia blossom, as well as fruity tones of citrus and passion fruit. The palate is full-bodied and offers characteristic features of Meursault, such as apricot, white peaches and white chocolate, complemented by a subtle woody note that adds depth. The wine is full-bodied without being heavy, and it achieves a fine balance between exotic flavor nuances and freshness. A fascinating white wine from Burgundy!
