Bourgogne Chardonnay 'Reserve du Bastion'

The Réserve du Bastion Chardonnay from Domaine Chanson is a Burgundian blend that reflects the breadth of the region: grapes from Auxerrois, the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais, complemented by parcels in Chassagne Montrachet. The result is an approachable yet characterful Chardonnay that combines terroir and craftsmanship; a wine offering both freshness and a gentle roundness, typical of a modern Burgundy that respects tradition.

In the glass the wine shows a pale golden colour. The nose is clear and inviting, with fresh citrus accents, white flowers and a subtle mentholy lift, complemented by light oak tones. On the palate the entry is fresh and dynamic: pure citrus and stone fruit aromas, well built acidity and a fine mineral thread that supports the structure, finishing with a refreshing, elegant finish.

Winemaking begins with strict grape selection and a cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks at around 16 °C for 15–20 days to preserve primary aromas. The wine then matures for about 10 months, partly in stainless steel and partly in French oak barrels, adding roundness and a subtle richness without masking the freshness.

Serve at 10–12 °C. Perfect as an aperitif and with terrines, refined fish dishes, shellfish or soft goat cheeses; also an excellent choice for light, gastronomic starters.
