WINEMAKING & VINTAGE NOTES
Vines are planted on chalky clay soils with stones with ideal sun exposure. Yields are kept low to enhance concentration. Average age of the vines is 35-40 years. A slow, cool temperature vinification takes place in order to preserve fruit flavors and aromas. Fermentation is in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperatures. The wine is aged for six months on the lees in stainless-steel tanks.
TASTING NOTES
Pale bright gold. Rich, fruity, fresh and elegant. The mineral palate is complemented by notes of lemon. Excellent with grilled fish or white meat.

Its adaptability to different soils and climates, and malleability in the wine room make Chardonnay one of the most popular and ubiquitous grapes. Responsible for some of the world’s most thrilling white wines wines including Champagne, it is in its homeland of Burgundy with villages such as Chablis, Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet that producers craft arguably some of the world’s finest wines. Chardonnay is also synonymous with California, where it can display riper, tropical fruit flavors, rather than the more restrained stone fruit and steely, mineral qualities often associated with its Old World and cool climate counterparts. While there are terrific fresh and vibrant Chardonnays made solely using stainless steel, the grape also knits terrifically well with oak, lending greater depth and weight in the form of a nutty, toasty and somtimes buttery component.
Two hundred miles south east of Paris lies the famous and historic wine region, known in French as Bourgogne. The Cote d'Or, the heartland of the region, consists of two distinct sub-regions split on either side of the town of Beaune.The Côte de Nuits to the north, includes the famous villages of Vosne-Romanee, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Nuits-Saint-Georges and are known primarily for making red wine from Pinot Noir.Although The Côte de Beaune to the south still makes some magnificent reds (see Volnay and Pommard), white wine made from Chardonnay is the main focus. The most famous villages are Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. Burgundy has three other important regions. The village of Chablis (exclusively Chardonnay) encompassing the region's most northerly vineyards. The Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais to south are quantitatively speaking more important. Agriculture is more diverse with a significant portion of the land devoted to livestock and arable farming.

- WBWidmon B.Verified BuyerI do not recommend this productRated 2 out of 5 stars3 months agoA poor man's white burgundy
It is drinkable to few people but yours truly. This is my 3rd bottle. Its oxidized at year 6. I am an impecunious burgundy lover. De La Belouse was well made generic white burgundy with ripe peaches and light citrus; when slightly chilled, its a good accompaniment to appropo food or it would make an excellent fish bouillion (fume de poisson) for poached salmon. I would still buy it at this price, although its time has passed. Also, its just fine with broiled salmon. Burgundies are pricey, you know.
