Damien Martin Bourgogne Blanc 2023

Alcohol: 13%

Grape(s): 100% Chardonnay

Location: Maconnais, Burgundy, France

Tasting Notes: Well-defined citrus and stone fruit aromas, with hints of acacia, honeysuckle, verbena, and fennel. Combines vivacity, roundness, fruitiness, and aromatic richness.

Notes: 90% fermented in stainless steel tanks, 10% fermented and matured in French oak barrels. Full malolactic conversion. Matured about 6 months on the fine lees. Both the stainless and barrel fermented wine are then blended for a richer, creamier texture without any perceptible oaky nose or taste.

Food pairing: Excellent as an aperitif for its beautiful crispness, it pairs with poultry, veal, and lighter meats, risottos with meat or fish, cold antipasti, mixed salads.

The Domain: A family domaine, owned by the father-and-son team of Robert and Damien Martin, Domaine Damien Martin owns approximately 20 hectares in the heart of the Mâconnais with Chardonnay vineyards in Verzé, the lieu-dit of Les Maillettes, located in St. Véran and Pouilly Fuissé, and Gamay planted in Mâcon Davayé. Son Damien now manages all aspects of the viticulture and winemaking with a deep love and respect for the traditions of the Mâconnais.
