Joseph Drouhin Chardonnay Bourgogne - Bundle & Save

Originating from France in the Burgundy region, specifically within the regional Bourgogne Blanc appellation, Joseph Drouhin Chardonnay Bourgogne represents a classic, pure, and elegant expression of Burgundian Chardonnay. Established in 1880, Maison Joseph Drouhin is one of Burgundy's most revered historic houses, currently managed by the fourth generation of the Drouhin family and globally acclaimed for its commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture. Sourced from choice estate parcels and long-standing partner vineyards situated across the Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, and the Auxerrois, the vines sit on classic limestone and clay soils. The winemaking philosophy emphasizes gentle whole-cluster pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats and neutral oak barrels, and aging on fine lees for 7 to 8 months to preserve pristine varietal fruit aromatics, crisp minerality, and authentic Burgundian terroir precision.

Wine Description

The wine presents a clear, luminous pale straw yellow colour with bright greenish reflections along the rim. An expressive, highly perfumed bouquet opens with delicate aromas of fresh green apple, ripe Williams pear, white peach, and lemon curd, interwoven with subtle notes of white acacia flowers, fresh hazelnut, crushed limestone, and a hint of warm brioche. On the palate, it is light-to-medium bodied, crisp, and refreshing, delivering generous flavours of citrus zest, white orchard fruit, and mineral earth, all supported by a bright, mouthwatering core of natural acidity. Framed by a smooth, satiny texture derived from gentle lees contact and a balanced mid-palate structure, it concludes with a clean, persistent finish marked by lingering lemon peel, subtle nuttiness, and a fresh mineral lift. Composed of 100% Chardonnay, it combines Burgundian elegance and freshness with effortless drinkability and charm.
