History
The Domaine des Riottes in Meursault, which owns four hectares of vines, offers a lovely range of Côte de Beaune wines.
Grape variety
Chardonnay
Origin
In the heart of the Côte de Beaune, between 200 and 300 meters above sea level and facing East / Southeast, the vineyards surround the picturesque village of Meursault.
Soil
The vineyards find their excellence on calcareous marl.
Vinification
Traditional vinification. The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery in pneumatic presses. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out in oak
barrels, 50% new oak. The wine is aged for 8 to 10 months in oak barrels with regular stirring to gain depth and complexity.
sensory characteristic
Colour
Light yellow in colour with bright green hints.
Nose
The flavours of honeysuckle, fern, candied lemon, brioche and toasted bread form the bouquet.
Palate
The palate is tasty with some notes of almond paste and hazelnuts. The finish is both saline and crispy.
Recommendations
Blends elegantly with meat and fish with a noble and beautiful texture (veal or chicken in white sauce, roasted sea bass, but also foie gras) or grilled seafood and
sauce (shrimp, lobster ...). Delicious as an aperitif and with cheeses with a light taste (Camembert, Brie, Blue cheese, Goat cheese, Gruyere...).
