In 2007 Cécile and Alain Dardanelli had their soils analysed and realised that, alongisde their established Gamay grapes, they could grow Chardonnay. It's hardly surprising, given that many of their vineyards are within touching distant of famous Maconnais appellations such as Pouilly-Fuisse and Saint Veran.

The wine has subtle aromas of white honeysuckle and citrus. The palate shows stone fruit and white pepper spice.

Pair this with grilled fish or a fish terrine.

Chardonnay

One of the world’s most popular grapes, Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from lean, sparkling Blanc de Blancs to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak.

Depending on how ripe the grapes get, the flavour ranges from crisp, clean citrus and green apple, to ripe peaches and tropical fruit. Notable Chardonnays can be found in France, California, Australia, England, and beyond.

Beaujolais, France

The hilly Beaujolais vineyards stretch out from north to south over 55km, bordered to the west by the Massif Central, and to the east by the Saone river.

Beaujolais vineyards are emblematic in the French national landscape, but are still teeming with secrets to be unearthed. The region has a constent sense of welcome and sharing. Sculpted over centuries it is personified by its 12 AOCs.
