BOURGOGNE CHARDONNAY "ORIGINES"  MAISON ALBERT BICHOT  PRESENTATION  LOCATION  Bourgogne  VARIETAL  Chardonnay  TERROIR  Calcareous clay soil  Burgundy has historically been one of the oldest terroirs of reference for  Chardonnay wines.  Our ‘Origines’ cuvée is crafted from grapes hailing from a mosaic of plots  that overlie calcareous clay soil, with varying exposure and altitude. The  diversity of these terroirs along with careful vinification and ageing allow  the Chardonnay grape to produce an aromatic, fresh, round wine.  WINEMAKING/AGEING  Alcoholic fermentation and aging on fine lees: 80% in stainless steel vats  and 20% in oak barrels for 9 to 11 months.  TASTING  Fresh nose with scents of citrus fruit and white flowers open up to notes  of honey and dried fruit. The palate is fresh and balanced, featuring  perfect balance between vivacity and roundness.  SERVING  Serve between 10 and 12°C (50-53°F).  To taste when young on the fruit or to keep 2 to 3 years.  FOOD PAIRINGS  Simply prepared fish and seafood  White meats and poultry, grilled or served in a light sauce  QUOTES  Wine Spectator: 88/100 (2022)
