Grapes:100% Chardonnay From: France, Burgundy Description: This Chardonnay has not seen any oak! It has a nice creamy body with dry fruit coming through - it’s a typical non-oaked burgundy and would please anyone who likes wines like a ‘Chablis’ Fact: White wines from Burgundy are usually 100% Chardonnay which often surprises people as Chardonnay in the US has become synonymous with big oak and butter thanks to Californian wine production of the 80s. Names that you would associate with white burgundies include Chablis, Montrachet, Macon, Pouilly Food Pairing: We’re now with a fuller bodied wine – this will pair well with fish and white meat and strangely enough anything with Cheddar – it would be great with a plate of Nachos! |
