Bouard-Bonnefoy, Chardonnay Saint-Aubin 1st Cru Le Charmois

Bouard-Bonnefoy, Saint-Aubin 1e Cru Le Charmois . French white wine.

This Premier Cru Chardonnay has full aromas of green apple, white peach and wet stones that marry beautifully with mineral energy and a backbone of uplifting acidity. 'Le Charmois' is the source of a vibrant and seductive wine - with all the flavoursome depth and elegance you would expect from the best of Chassagne.

Lush, lively wine, soft and round with precise acids due to the slightly cooler and higher location. But with the temptation of Montrachet. The vineyard Le Charmois belongs to Les Combes (small valleys) with an eastern exposure, bordering Premier Cru Les Chaumées in Chassagne-Montrachet . The soils are comparable and this wine from Bouard-Bonnefoy too, but the price is a lot friendlier!

• Serving: 10-12 °C

Sustainably made vegan wine , spontaneously fermented, virtually no sulphites. Maturation on largely old wood, maximum 20% new barrels per year. This Saint-Aubin Le Charmois gives a clear picture of the classic style of Bouard-Bonnefoy.
