2023 Domaine de la Denante Bourgogne Blanc

100% sustainable and estate grown Chardonnay. 90% fermented in stainless steel tanks, 10% fermented and matured in French oak barrels. Full malolactic conversion. Matured about 6 months on the fine lees. Both the stainless and barrel fermented wine are then blended for a richer, creamier texture without any perceptible oaky nose or taste. Well defined citrus and stone fruit aromas, with hints of acacia, honeysuckle, verbena, and fennel. Combines vivacity, roundness, fruitiness, and aromatic richness. A family domaine owned by the father-and-son team of Robert and Damien Martin, Denante owns approximately 50 acres in the heart of the Mâconnais with Chardonnay vineyards in Verzé, the lieu-dit of Les Maillettes, located in St. Véran and Pouilly Fuissé, and Gamay planted in Mâcon Davayé. Son Damien now manages all aspects of the viticulture and winemaking .
