Product Notes

Domaine Xavier Monnot Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Grandes Coutures is a magnificent French wine with unmatched elegance. It captures the essence of the renowned winemaking techniques of the Bourgogne region. A nose of subtle citrus notes blends beautifully with a minerally undercurrent. On the palate, it delivers clean, crisp flavours of green apple and pear, invigorated by a hint of toasty oak. Its exuberant acidity and complex structure give it a remarkably lingering finish. This Chardonnay is the ideal partner for seafood dishes, making it a charming addition to any fine dining experience.

Tasting Notes

Fine golden color in appearance. Aromas of grapefruit, apple and spice make up the bouquet. Hints of fresh butter cascade onto the palate, into a refreshing finish. White Burgundy, with its richness, texture, and toasted flavors pairs well with light fish and shellfish and can counterbalance cream-based sauces. Oak-aged Chardonnay from warmer climates lends itself well to grilled fish, starches, butter, and toasted nuts.
