Waitrose White Burgundy 75cl 2020

This soft, elegant and aromatic white is made from Chardonnay grapes grown around the Mâcon region of southern Burgundy. Thanks to a little time spent ageing in oak, the wine is smooth and round, with flavours of apple and stone-fruit, a hint of citrus and a lovely streak of minerality. A good partner for risottos, roast chicken or simple fish dishes

For the treatments of the vine we respect the regulations and we have traceability.

Grapes are mechanically harvested then pressed in a pneumatic press. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out in temperature controlled stainless steel vats (constant temperature of 16 to 18°C), and the malolactic fermentation is completed at 100%. The wine is matured with its lees in stainless steel vats, with a portion being matured on French Oak, and is then bottled in traditional Burgundy bottles.

The wine is matured with its lees in stainless steel vats, though 8% of the blend is barrel aged, crafting good texture and balance
