Domaine des Gandines, Macon-Peronne Blanc, Burgundy, France 2023
{biodynamic} 100% Chardonnay
RIPE ORCHARD FRUIT, TOAST, HONEY & LEMON
Chardonnay’s name is likely traceable to an eponymous village in the Maconnais and, despite being largely overshadowed by the variety’s Cote-d’Or capitals like Meursault and Montrachet, picturesque southern Burgundy yields spectacular renditions of the grape. Assertively brimming with golden tree fruit, zesty lemon, flint, and toasted graham cracker vibes from six months in enormous oak barrels, it’s perfect as a companion for hearty, autumnal fare or simply swooning over.
Serving Suggestion: Roast partridge w/ pears, juniper berries, lemon, & white wine. Moravian chicken pie. Shallot & Gruyère quiche.
