2013 Beaune Montee Rouge Chardonnay, Domaine Moissenet-Bonnard

Producer: Domaine Moissenet-Bonnard Wine: 2013 Beaune "Montee Rouge" Varietal: 100% Chardonnay Nose: Beaune is full of delicacy, with a floral nose (white flowers, acacia, honeysuckle), notes of fresh almonds and slightly spicy (cinnamon) accents. Palate: Dry, med-acidity, low-medium tannins.  A little more masculine than the nose and more classically Beaune.  Alluring, silky and very delicate on the palate, with aromas of vineyard peaches. Food: Perfect with scallop and gamba lasagna, leek fondue, salmon tartare with citrus confit, langoustine carpaccio. Delicious with cheeses such as Tomme de Brebis, Mont d’Or, Rocamadour, Chevrotin, Mâconnais.  Dessert: cheesecake with chestnut cream and goat's milk, fromage frais or chocolate mousse in a glass. Cellaring: Drink now or hold until 2021 Vinification: Grapes are picked entirely by hand, destemmed and then gently pressed with our pneumatic press to obtain a pure juice. The alcoholic vinification is started in vats and is then finished in barrels, 30% of which are new.
