Bernard Defaix Bourgogne Chardonnay

Bernard Defaix Bourgogne Chardonnay

Bernard Defaix Bourgogne Chardonnay is a white wine from the Burgundy region of France. This wine has a bright, light straw yellow color and a refreshing aroma of citrus fruits such as lime and lemon, green apples and subtle mineral notes of wet stones.

The taste of this Chardonnay is lively and fresh, with a pronounced acidity that emphasizes the citrus and green apple notes. The mouthfeel is bright and crisp, with a nice balance between fruity and mineral elements. The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering minerality and citrus notes.

The grapes, which are hand-picked, are purchased from several wine growers from the Burgundy region. In the vinification cellar, careful pneumatic pressing of the grapes takes place, after which the juice is cooled for 24 hours to allow coarser components to settle. After this, the clean juice is allowed to undergo a spontaneous alcoholic fermentation with wild (grape's own) yeasts in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (20°C), followed by malolactic fermentation and maturation on the lees, also in stainless steel tanks. After about 9 months the wine becomes assembled, lightly filtered if necessary and bottled. This entire process is biological rules and regulations.

Wine - Food pairing

This wine goes well with seafood, shellfish, oysters, white fish dishes and light chicken dishes, and is a good representation of the characteristic Chablis style of Chardonnay wines.
