Burgundy White Wine
Chardonnay holds the prize for the planet’s most widely planted white variety, but its birthplace will forever rest in Burgundy. The sheer adaptability of this varietal reaches its full potential in the hands of experienced growers in Burgundy. Suitable for casual quaffs and seasoned sips, white Burgundy wine offers an array of expressively flavourful experiences.
White Burgundy wine bursts with citrus, fruit-forward essences, paired with herbaceous extracts that develop complex, delicate, and even rich terroir-driven cuvées. When aged in oak barrels, the wine can create a deeper flavour profile, perfect for pairing with seafood, poultry and cheese.

What Grape is White Burgundy Wine?
White Burgundy wine is produced from Chardonnay grapes, the region's most dominant grape. It is a medium to full-bodied crisp varietal that has a naturally relatively neutral flavour, heavily influenced by climate and soil. Amongst everything else, it has an intrinsically high level of acidity that effortlessly encourages the ageing process of the wine.
