Domaine de Bel-Air - Beaujolais Blanc 2023
This Beaujolais Blanc Chardonnay is mineral and fruity.
Domaine de Bel-Air, owned and operated by Jean-Marc Lafont, produces Beaujolais wines of great finesse. It is indeed Jean-Marc’s exemplary work in his ideally-located vineyards that is the key to these magnificent wines. The vineyard is located at the border of Burgundy where one finds clay and limestone soils; ideal for Chardonnay.
The bouquet opens up with white orchard, fresh white peach, citrus notes and light butter flavours. On the palate, the attack is round and charming with plenty of freshness to lift up all these aromas. It pairs well with seafood, scallops, goat cheese, white fish and also mild charcuterie. Drink now. 100% Chardonnay.
- What we say
- Technical notes
"Jean-Marc Lafont has made another great Beaujolais white. It’s a rare wine indeed since there is only 2% of the Beaujolais region planted with Chardonnay. Magnificent value, ready to please."
The grapes are harvested by hand then brought to the winery where the healthiest grapes are selected. After being gently pressed, the must is pumped into a stainless-steel vat to ferment. After eight months of maturation in the vat, the wine is bottled.
