Grape

Chardonnay

Origin
From the village of Charnay in the Mâconnais, this well-made wine is taken from Cordier's top vineyard parcels. Implementing battonage and 9 months ageing on lees before bottling, Cordier has again excelled in making quality wine from a less fashionable appellation.
Taste
Lime, pineapple and lemon harmonise with a slight hint of nuttiness on the palate. Refreshing, with some complexity, a balanced acidity leaves the mouth revitalised afterwards.
Enjoy
Roast poultry dishes work really well with this style of wine, but also refreshing and crisp by itself as a pre-dinner drink.

    good

    A little assertive but very drinkable on its own or with food. Compares well with more expensive labels. Good value at this price, which I take into account on rating it at 4

Press Reviews

    • Jane MacQuitty
    • Saturday Times - Winter Top 100 Under £12 Bargain Burgundy

    "This white burgundy from the excellent 2009 vintage comes from hand-picked lowyielding chardonnay vines from the village of Charnay-lès-Mâcon. Fermented and aged in old barrels, this lively, lemony, aperitif and first-course white oozes rich, nutty, oaky fruit."

  • "A clear winner in our white tasting for its incredible concentration of citrus fruits and beautifully balanced oak. Cordier's white burgundies are beautifully made - from the most organised cellars I have ever visited. His yields are low and he picks late to achieve amazing intensity. This is the best bargain in this range, so bypass pricey Cote de Beaune for the Christmas turkey - and head straight to Cordier in southern Maconnais."
