Description

4 months oak maturation. Fruity, fresh, and elegant with a toasty aftertaste. The best Chardonnays come from Burgundy. Just think of those excellent Meursaults, Pouillie Fuissés, Chablis… sounds like quality to you, but also often so expensive. Obviously we cannot make Burgundy in Flanders. But we can make a Flemish wine based on the Burgundian model. And so we get something unique again. Your own Flemish Burgundian? And why not? Malolactic fermentation makes the wine less acidic, makes it a bit rounder, even a bit buttery. The light oak maturation provides vanilla keys and gives it a lot of character. This wine proudly accompanies your fish dishes, mussels, or white meat preparations.
