2009 Bourgogne Chardonnay Guy Chaumont

From Burgundy in France, this wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes.  It is a classic, dry white burgundy with rich buttery apple and melon fruit. Characteristic mineral undertones from the region’s soil add complexity to this full-bodied wine. Aged in both new and old oak this wine makes an excellent pairing choice with lighter meats and seafood.

Guy Chaumont produces wines from vineyards on the Côte Chalonnaise, a low ridge in the southern part of France’s famous Burgundy region. Côte Chalonnaise now merits its own appellation to distinguish these wines from other Burgundys.

The Chaumont eight acre estate is quite small, like many local vineyards. Guy took over seventeen years ago from his father, who had converted to organic growing ten years earlier out of concern for the family’s health. Their vineyard is certified organic by Ecocert, one of the official certifying agencies. Grapes are fertilized and protected from pests naturally, without synthetic chemical sprays.

This wine is a classic white burgundy with rich, buttery apple and melon fruit and a long smooth finish. Aged in old and new oak.
