Bourgogne Blanc AOP « La Grande Corvée de Bully »

Cépage

The variety of the reputed white wines of Burgundy: Chardonnay.

Terroir

Located in the climat of “La Grande Corvée de Bully”, the soil is of sparse limestone, producing wines full of energy and minerality, with the freshness typical of the wines of Pernand-Vergelesses.

Vinification

Reflecting our other appellations, the Bourgogne Blanc vines are worked just like our other terroirs. Soils are ploughed, green growth carefully managed and harvesting is by hand with long and gentle pressing, using whole bunches.

During harvest period, we bring in our grapes in small crates to keep them intact and undamaged. Whole bunches of grapes are used during pressing, which lasts two hours. This is done by pneumatic press, which better respects the integrity of our grapes. After settling for 24 hours at low temperature, the juice goes to barrel for fermentation, with 10 % new oak. Ageing on the lees with lees-stirring lasts until the month of July following. Bottling takes place after ageing for 12 months.

Notes de dégustation

Our Bourgogne Blanc, of brilliant golden hue, has an expressive floral and fruity nose. Ample and fresh, its tasting will reveal notes of citrus and gunflint.

Accords mets & vins

This wine can perfectly accompany a pâté en croûte (baked pie), a slice of smoked salmon, a savory pie as well as a river fish in butter, or grilled fishes (sardines, trouts or breams) on barbecue during summer. It could easily extend your meal with white meats.
