Manoir de la Juviniere Bourgogne Chardonnay

Country: France
Place of Origin: Bourgogne
Winery: Domaine de la Juviniere

Description: The production is approximatively 3000 bottles. A pungent nose of straw, white flowers and pear leads to detailed, mineral-inflected and tension-filled flavors that culminate in an unusually but agreeably dry finish in the context of the vintage. There is only average complexity but this is pretty enough.

Production: The vines are relatively young, and well balanced with a controlled vigour. The grapes are crushed, then pressed in a pneumatic press. The resulting must is left to settle cold for 24 hours. Fermentation occurs in barrels (10% are new oak) and half in temperature- controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is allowed to mature on the lees for ten to twelve months. Bottling occurs after a filtration on plates, but with no fining. The production is approximatively 3000 bottles.

Food Combination: Seafood, vegetable frit, Japanese dishes, sushi, oyster, mussels, smoked salmon, poultry, pork, veal abalone.
