Product Notes

Domaine Xavier Monnot Bourgogne Chardonnay Les Grandes Coutures is an exquisite white wine crafted in the famed Burgundy region of France. Its tantalising palate offers progressive layers of stone fruit and citrus, accompanied by a chalky mineral undertone creating a complex, structured flavour profile. On the nose, one can expect a bouquet of luscious ripe pears and toasted caramel, paving the way for a crisp, refreshing finish. The Chardonnay’s medium-bodied character and immaculate balance lend it a rather polished aspect, making it a delightful accompaniment to a variety of dishes.

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.
