Château du Chatelard, Beaujolais Blanc 2020
DESCRIPTION
A true rare gem of Beaujolais, this 2013 Secret de Chardonnay from Château du Chatelard comes exclusively from the clay-limestone terroirs of the Chatelard hill. This exceptional cuvée, limited to only 6,000 bottles, expresses with finesse and elegance all the typicity of Chardonnay grown on these privileged soils.
Its golden yellow color with silver reflections announces a distinguished and refined wine. The nose reveals a rich and complex aromatic palette dominated by notes of ripe fruits and fresh citrus. On the palate, the attack is clean and direct, developing a beautiful finesse accompanied by a persistent aromatic complexity that extends into a rich and long-lasting finish.
This exceptional Beaujolais Blanc, carefully vinified and partially aged (20%) in oak barrels, will flourish perfectly as an aperitif or paired with fine fish, shellfish, or goat cheese. It can be kept for 3 to 5 years to further develop its aromatic palette.
A rare pearl to discover for connoisseurs and lovers of elegant and expressive white wines from the hidden terroirs of Beaujolais.
REGION
Beaujolais
France
Situated just south of Burgundy, Beaujolais is a wine-growing region with a semi-continental climate conducive to the production of fresh, fruity, brilliant red wines. Its emblematic grape variety, Gamay, expresses remarkable purity and vivacity, whether in the cuvées de soif or the deeper expressions of the crus.
The region boasts ten prestigious crus, each with its own personality: Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Chénas, Chiroubles, Fleurie, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Régnié and Saint-Amour. Names that resonate with fans of gourmet red wines, combining freshness, finesse and character.

A very fresh Chardonnay. Reminds me of some Mâcon wines.
