Pierre-Emanuel Sangouard took over his grandfather’s estate in 1997 and continues the family tradition of crafting terroir driven wines.  Through Chardonnay, the only varietal he grows on his 34 individual plots in southern Burgundy, he expresses the difference that small climactic and soil variations can have on the finished wine. ‘Clos de la Bressande’ is sourced from a 2.5 acre plot in the village of Hurigny that offers excellent sun exposure allowing the grapes to ripen beautifully resulting in a refreshing wine with lovely aromatics. Best drank in its youth, this unoaked Chardonnay offers a crisp, clean palate of yellow apple, crunchy pear, and lemon zest with a creamy texture and bright, balanced acidity. 

PAIRING: GRILLED WHOLE FISH - DON'T FORGET THE LEMON AND GARLIC!
