Discover the elegance and charm of Beaune Blanc from the renowned Cote de Beaune region, crafted from 100% Chardonnay grapes. This wine epitomises the refined character that has made Burgundy world-famous, originating from two meticulously selected vineyards-one perched just beneath the distinguished Premier Cru Bressandes and the other at the foot of Beaune hill, close to a pure water source. Each vineyard contributes to the wine's distinct expression, resulting in a captivating balance of structure and complexity. Produced by Louis Jadot with a passion for authenticity and quality, the winemaking process involves gentle hand harvesting, careful pressing, and fermentation in French oak barrels-one third of which are new-followed by 15 months of maturation on fine lees. This traditionally inspired approach yields a full-bodied, age-worthy white Burgundy that excels as a counterpart to the celebrated reds of Beaune.
Tasting Notes
Appearance:
The wine pours a luminous pale gold in the glass, promising freshness and vibrancy while hinting at its depth and richness.
Nose:
An inviting bouquet greets you with expressive notes of ripe orchard fruits-think crisp apple and juicy pear-complemented by delicate floral nuances and a subtle, mineral edge. Underpinning these scents are whispers of toasted brioche and fine vanilla, a result of its time spent in oak barrels.
Palate:
On the palate, Beaune Blanc opens with generous layers of ripe fruit and a beautifully textured mouthfeel. The wine's richness is perfectly balanced by lively acidity, supporting flavours of stone fruit, citrus zest and a gentle creaminess that speaks of its lees ageing. Harmonious oak integration lends hints of hazelnut and spice, enhancing the complexity without overshadowing the vibrant fruit core.
Finish:
The finish is long, refined, and satisfyingly fresh, marked by lingering notes of citrus and almond, and a subtle, mineral-driven elegance. This makes it a stellar partner for roast chicken with all the trimmings, promising a memorable dining experience.
