The emotion of a very great wine. The golden dress has a beautiful shine. After a few moments of aeration, the aromas reveal all their richness and intensity: toasted bread, almonds, honey, exotic woods... What strikes you most on the palate is the architecture, the "monumental" grandeur of this wine. A touch of tannin even adds to this astonishing dimension. The finish blossoms at length with candied and amber notes.
Its imposing structure in its youth reveals notes of butter, honey and dried fruits over time. It finds its elegance and finesse in its aromas of white flowers, fruit and the very dense minerality which persists on the palate. An unparalleled depth that will reveal itself over time.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.

Bâtard-Montrachet is a highly sought-after white wine produced in the Burgundy region of France. This wine is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in the vineyards surrounding the village of Puligny-Montrachet. The name Bâtard-Montrachet comes from the fact that the vineyards used to be owned by the Montrachet estate, but were later divided and sold off, resulting in the creation of several different vineyards, including Bâtard-Montrachet.

Over the centuries, the vineyards changed hands several times, and the wine became known for its exceptional quality. Today, Bâtard-Montrachet is considered one of the finest white wines in the world, and is highly prized by collectors and connoisseurs.

The style of production for Bâtard-Montrachet is very traditional, with the grapes being hand-harvested and carefully sorted before being pressed. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for up to 18 months, which gives it a rich, complex flavour and a deep golden colour. The wine is known for its intense aromas of honey, vanilla, and toasted almonds, as well as its full-bodied, creamy texture and long, lingering finish.

Bâtard-Montrachet is a wine that pairs well with a wide range of foods, including seafood, poultry, and creamy sauces. It is also a popular choice for special occasions, such as weddings and anniversaries, and is often given as a gift to mark important milestones.
