Chardonnay

100% Shar-do-NAY

Chardonnay may be the most versatile white wine grape, often seen as a blank canvas. It displays various flavors and aromas depending on where it is grown and more specifically, how it is made. It can range in Palate Character from Bright & Crisp to Rich & Full depending on the climate. It is also particularly malleable and highly affected by winemaking choices like as malolactic fermentation, lees stirring, barrel fermentation and ageing practices.

Dureuil-Janthial

Rully, Burgundy

Since the age of 24, Vincent Dureuil has elevated his family winery, Dureuil-Janthial, to become a top producer of chardonnay and pinot noir in Southern Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise.

Assuming control of the family estate in 1994, Vincent Dureuil was the first winemaker in his village of Rully to introduce organic farming. The 20 hectares of vineyards are hand-harvested, fermented, and aged in a mixture of French oak barrels and steel tanks, before bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Vincent Dureuil produces compelling expressions of both chardonnay and pinot noir, no easy feat. You might be forgiven for thinking his lively, yet mineral focused white wines have more in common with the quality of the more heralded villages in the Côte-D’Or.
