Domaine Bersan, Bourgogne Aligote, Chablisien 2022
Bourgogne Aligoté is a white wine, full of freshness, like the spring breeze. Good-natured, a little impertinent, fruity, he dresses in pale gold. Its bouquet is floral (acacia, hawthorn) or fruity (apple). On the palate, this tender and smooth wine soothes the taste buds with nutty notes that appear in the finish.
Domaine Bersan, Chablis “Les Ouches”, Chablisien, 2022
Domaine Bersan, Saint-Bris ‘Mont Embrase’, Chablisien
Coming from a limestone terroir, Mont Embrasé is a signature of Jean-Louis and Jean-Christophe Bersan. Their estate, in conversion to organic farming since its creation in 2009, knows how to highlight its roots. Sauvignon finds its place in this elegant cuvée with a slightly vanilla nose. The palate is warm with its fruitiness of yellow apple. A complex wine, to accompany Asian cuisine from now on.
Domaine Rijckaert, Haute Cuvée Mâcon Fuissé, Maconnais 2021
Jean Rijckaert's approach is simple: he wants to make wines that he likes without succumbing to fashions or the wishes of customers. Similarly, he refuses to make his wines competition beasts: his bottles are there to be drunk and not exhibited.
On the winemaking side, we can note that in this Chardonnay enthusiast, fermentations are done without the addition of yeast, that there can be a slight correction of the alcoholic strength, that sulphites are added as needed and that finally, filtration is not systematically rejected. Fermentation and aging take place in oak barrels, with always a small proportion of new ones .
Domaine Rijckaert, Pouilly Fuissé Haute Cuvee, Maconnais 2022
This Pouilly-Fuisse expresses all the complexity that a Chardonnay could give on a great terroir of Burgundy. 100% Chardonnay. Expresses the typical qualities of the famous appellation. A blend from vineyards in relatively cool areas (facing west), this Pouilly-Fuissé has a generous heart in an elegant body. Limestone soils on more or less stony slopes.
