The
famed wines of Burgundy owe their reputation to the
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Unlike wines from
other regions, Burgundy wines are not blended; rather,
each wine is made from 100% of the named grapes.
Cépage:
Chardonnay
About
the Producer: Pierre Olivier was
the eldest son of a family whose vineyards had long
been established in Burgundy. Early in his career,
he became the cellar master for an important negociant
in Burgundy. During this time, Pierre began to
collect his own stock of premier Crus
and unique village wines. These wines were hidden
during and survived World War II. At the conclusion
of the war, Pierre began to sell these wines to customers
and further established his reputation as having an
excellent nose and palate for the selection of outstanding
wines. This tradition, as reflected by the worldwide
recognition these wines routinely receive, the passion
for viticulture and winemaking continues undiminished
in the current generation.
Tasting
Notes: An elegant, oaky, and supple
Chardonnay that shows delicious fruits and aromas.
So fresh and well balanced, with enough structure for
further aging, the wine unfolds in the glass and exudes
a complex bouquet. Luscious apple and pineapple
fruit scents are interwoven with smoky earth and wildflower
nuances. Clean and pure on the palate it accentuates
the ripe apple fruit and creamy butter richness.
The finish is long, intriguing and dry.
