Maison Champy Bourgogne Chardonnay Cuvee Edme (75cl)

Maison Champy Bourgogne Chardonnay Cuvee Edme is an organic-certified white Burgundy made from 100% Chardonnay, blending barrel-fermented and stainless-steel-vinified wine from multiple Burgundian sub-regions, in a 750ml bottle. Maison Champy was founded in 1720 in Beaune. High-altitude estate vineyards in Pernand-Vergelesses provide barrel-fermented Chardonnay, while parcels near Puligny-Montrachet, Meursault and Rully contribute fruit vinified in stainless steel. The final blend sees 30% new Burgundy barriques during 10 to 16 months of ageing. The nose opens with fresh apple and ripe pear, then exotic white fruits and delicate white flowers, with vanilla and toasted bread from barrel ageing. The palate is bright with Amalfi lemon and candied lime zest, with stone fruit richness, a taut mineral backbone, smooth round mouthfeel and gentle caramel oak. The finish is generous, with citrus peel, chalky minerality and toasted almond.
