2019 Chardonnay Le Bruleau Maison Boiteau

Description:

The 2019 vintage of “Le Bruleau” reveals Maison Boiteau’s mastery of Chardonnay on the limestone soils of the Charentes. This expressive and finely crafted white wine showcases the natural freshness of the grape with a refined mineral edge. The nose is intricate, featuring aromas of toasted sesame, dried straw, orchid blossom, and almond kernel. On the palate, it offers both roundness and precision, developing notes of dried apricot, flat peach, and subtly candied Sicilian lemon. A streak of refreshing salinity and hints of peppermint and chlorophyll linger on the finish, giving the wine a uniquely persistent, airy structure.
