Domaine Anne Gros

Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay

The first harvest was in 1996 for this cuvee. This was an experimental white wine, our first encounter with Chardonnay. An experiment we pursued with a new plot in2016. Ripeness is usually excellent with decent yields. A fat wine with honeyed aromas of apple and pear. Great acidity keeps it from being heavy.The wine is aged for 12 months in 500 litres barrels (30% new oak) imparting notes of fresh butter and hazel nuts.The final result gives a wine that can be paired with fish and meat in white sauces, quenelles, foie gras An experimental pairing with fresh truffles or even sweet spices would be interesting.
