Fermented in stainless steel with malolactic fermentation blocked to preserve Chardonnay's fresh fruit character. No oak was used, keeping the focus on purity of fruit before bottling. Lovely and fresh Chardonnay bursting with stone fruits and citrus.
Notes on the producer
Domaine Jean-Marc Burgaud, established in 1989, spans 19 hectares: 13 in Morgon (including 8 on Côte du Py with 50+ year-old vines), 1 in Régnié, and 5 in Beaujolais Villages. Coming from a winemaking family, Jean-Marc combines generations of tradition with a diploma in oenology. The vineyards are farmed organically, worked by hand and horse, with dense plantings to enhance terroir expression. Jean-Marc prioritises healthy grapes, believing great wine comes from harmony between grower and land. In the cellar, he uses traditional methods: whole-cluster maceration, indigenous yeasts, and minimal intervention. Wines age in concrete or barrique and are bottled between April and August, with some cuvées lightly filtered to preserve balance and authenticity.
