Domaine de l'Eveche Côte Chalonnaise Bourgogne Blanc, 2022, 750ml

Description

100% Chardonnay, this wine offers notes of mirabelle plum, flowers, pear, pink grapefruit, and pineapple are the top notes of its very demonstrative, somewhat exotic fragrance. On the palate, the very ripe fruit is enveloped in a lovely richness, enhanced by flavors of bitter orange peel, aromatic herbs, and bitter almonds. Upon opening, it gains in salinity and precision

Since the 17th century our ancestors have been winemakers in St Denis de Vaux. Robert Joussier started purchasing parcels of vineyards and created his structure in 1930. He began by selling his wine in barrels. Henri Joussier extended the estate and moved onto the property in the 1950s, and released the first bottling with the 1959 vintage. The 12 acres of land were planted with a very rigorous selection of Pinot Noir. To add to this, we have rejuvenated our Chardonnay and Aligoté vineyards, which express themselves particularly well on the stony ground of the “Reviller” appellation. In 1990, we had the opportunity to expand our vineyards in Mercurey with acreage in “Les Ormeaux”, followed by the “Murgers” in 1998. 2018 saw the installation of our son Quentin and the renovation of the winery. Today, we – Quentin, Sylvie and Vincent – operate 35 acres of vineyards.
