Production
The Bellefontaine range has established an international reputation for consistent quality and value. Every year Boutinot winemakers select only quality parcels of wine from different estates and producers, each contributing key components to the finished blend. The grapes are sorted and pressed before undergoing temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. Every care is taken to preserve the classic varietal Chardonnay characteristics. We've blended Chardonnay from Gascony for purity and freshness with Chardonnay from Pays d'Oc for varietal character and texture. By blending these two, we've taken the best from each region to create a harmonious, unoaked Chardonnay.
Tasting notes
Very pure and bright, with an attractive nose of white flowers, warm hay and ripe lemon aromas. Zesty acidity is nicely complemented by the richness and peach notes on the palate with a hint of pear.
Food match
Classically served with fish or salad, and would be lovely with fresh bread and cheese for an impromptu lunchtime picnic.
