Since 1957 the Nuiton-Beaunoy wine growers have been part of the Vignerons des Terres Secretes co-operative. The co-ops approach is focussed on sustainability; more equity in an economic, social and ecological environment that puts people at the heart of the system.
This Burgundian white wine has been made with 100% Chardonnay grapes.
This has created a wine which has a bright yellow gold colour to it. On the nose you get the fruit characters of Apples, Pears and a touch of stone fruit, then from the background you get some gentle floral hints coming through.
On the palate these all come through and combine perfectly together together. The wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel, with no oak. It has been given time on its lees, which helps to give the wine texture. In turn this is balanced out by acidity.
The result? A beautiful little white Burgundy! A treat to open with supper.
Burgundy (or Bourgogne in French) is small in size, the Côte d'Or has about 8000 hectares under vine, yet its influence is immense. It is home to some of the best known and most expensive wines in the world. Look in the right places and there is great quality and superb value to be found.
The two major grapes are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, though you can find small pockets of well-made Aligoté.
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.
