Tasting notes
Bright and expressive on the nose with fresh citrus blossom, green apple, and subtle white peach aromas, underscored by a gentle mineral quality. On the palate, this wine is crisp and well-balanced with lively acidity and flavors of lemon zest, pear, and a touch of toasted almond. The texture is clean and supple, with a refreshing, medium-length finish that carries a pleasing chalky minerality typical of Burgundian Chardonnay.

About this wine
Joseph Drouhin's Laforet Chardonnay is a regional Bourgogne bottling, drawing on Chardonnay vineyards across Burgundy and vinified in the house's clean, approachable style. It offers an accessible entry point into white Burgundy without appellation pretension.
Expect a fresh, easy-drinking white with orchard fruit, a touch of citrus and a soft, rounded finish. Serve chilled at 10-12°C as an aperitif or alongside shellfish, pasta dishes, or a cheese and charcuterie board. Camembert and oily fish also pair well, making it a flexible pour for casual onboard dining.
