Domaine Arnaud Tessier - Bourgogne Chardonnay "Champ-Perrier" 2021

"This is one of the best value Burgundy white you can find. The “Champ-Perrier” vineyard is ideally located in Puligny-Montrachet. Arnaud Tessier has crafted a very delicate Chardonnay, full of complexity."

At Domaine Tessier, Catherine and Arnaud grow their vineyards organically. They ensure their vines are growing concentrated, ripe and healthy grapes. They employ only light ploughings, leave long branches on the vines and optimize the airflow through the canopy by removing leaves prior to harvest. After the hand harvest, grapes are pressed in a gentle pneumatic press. The juice is pumped into stainless steel vats and undergoes alcoholic fermentation. The process is as natural as possible and without introduction of external yeasts. The maturation is done in French oak barrels for nine to ten months – with only a few new oak barrels introduced – to preserve the beautiful fresh flavour of the wine and bring extra weight and complexity.
