Bourgogne AOP Chardonnay 2022 Domaine Jacques Prieur

What kind of wine is it?

Bourgogne Chardonnay Domaine Jacques Prieur is a still white wine produced in Burgundy from Chardonnay grapes. The vinification process involves alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, followed by aging in oak which gives complexity while preserving the fruit character.

Where does it come from?

It comes from Burgundy in the northeast of France, a benchmark region for Chardonnay. Here, a full and refined white is created, designed to strike a balance between palate breadth and freshness.

How is it made?

After alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, the wine ages for 15 months in oak barrels. The maturation process enhances aromatic development and helps integrate the oak notes with the wine’s fruit character, ensuring a smooth and continuous flavor structure.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows a bright straw yellow color. The bouquet recalls ripe yellow-fleshed fruit, with floral hints of jasmine and acacia. The palate is round and rich, balanced by lively freshness that extends the sip towards a persistent finish with citrus nuances.

Food pairings

At the table, it naturally accompanies fish dishes, particularly seafood salads. Its structure also makes it suitable for chicken-based recipes and selections of fresh cheeses, where freshness keeps the sip enjoyable.

When to serve

It is best enjoyed when you want a well-balanced Burgundy white, ideal both for a fish lunch and a dinner with white meats. Serve well-chilled to highlight its aromatic definition; opening it briefly in the glass can help harmonize the oak notes.
