Bourgogne Chardonnay 2020 – Domaine René Monnier

The grapes to produce Bourgogne Chardonnay Domaine René Monnier were harvested at optimum maturity. Bourgogne Chardonnay Domaine René Monnier fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of fruit and fresh aromatics, prior to a long ageing on the lees, which gave the wine a full, rich and rounded style.

The vineyards are farmed according to “la lutte raisonnée”, using sustainable agricultural methods, reducing the use of chemicals in order to respect the land and its environment. Great attention is paid to limiting the yields in the vineyards, to produce wines with great balance. The soils in the vineyard are limestone mixed with marl, retaining moisture in dry weather, but also offering good drainage in cooler weather.

Domaine Rene Monnier is a leading and sought-after producer situated in the heart of Meursault. With over 18 hectares of vineyard in the most prestigious Crus of the Côte de Beaune, Domaine René Monnier is one of the largest privately-owned domains in the region. Founded in 1723, the domain is now in the hands of the tenth generation, with all the wines being skilfully made by Xavier Monnot. Domaine René Monnier’s white wines are fresh and stylish avoiding excessive use of oak, while the reds are the epitome of fine Burgundy demonstrating the balanced, silky style of this house.
