Product Information Country France Region Burgundy Grape Variety Chardonnay Vintage 2023 ABV 13% This elegant white Burgundy wine from Saint-Véran is crafted with precision and care by Domaine des Deux Roches. The 2023 vintage of Les Terres Noires showcases the best of the Mâconnais region, made from old vine Chardonnay grapes grown in mineral-rich soils. Vintage The 2023 vintage expresses the unique microclimate of Les Terres Noires: early ripening, exceptional fruit concentration, and underlying minerality. The result is a wine with vibrant energy and refined structure. Vineyard Sourced from south-facing vineyards in Saint-Véran, the vines benefit from dark, humus-rich topsoil layered over limestone. These well-ventilated slopes, located near the Roche de Vergisson, feature many vines aged over 60 years, perfect for producing wines of depth and complexity. Hand-Harvested & Gravity-Fed Grapes are hand-picked and gently pressed using pneumatic presses. The juice is gravity-fed and cold-stabilized to preserve the wine’s natural aromatic precision. Vinification Fermentation takes place primarily in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness, with 20–30% of the wine aged in French oak barrels, less than 10% of which are new. Aged on fine lees until the following summer, this wine benefits from minimal SO₂ use, ensuring both purity and stability. Tasting Notes • Appearance: Clear, brilliant yellow with golden reflections. • Aroma: Ripe orchard fruits like pear and apricot, with hints of brioche, toasted almond, and honeysuckle. Subtle citrus zest lingers in the background. • Palate: Rich and creamy texture balanced by lively acidity. Flavours of ripe peach, apricot, pear, and a delicate nutty finish. Touches of buttery brioche and minerality round out the profile. • Finish: Long, clean, and elegant. The oak influence is subtle and supportive, never overpowering.
