As Wine Enthusiast’s Roger Voss says, “the Chardonnay grape, planted in the soil of Burgundy, subject to Burgundian sun and rain, and nurtured by the people of this region, can still make the best white wines in the world.
Vincent Prunier is “a little-known yet superb producer” (Los Angeles Times). Vincent makes outstanding Chardonnay at his small domaine in Auxey-Duresses that shows off the finest qualities of the fruit; nothing too heavy or over-oaked. It’s a classic example of why Burgundy remains the Chardonnay that connoisseurs keep coming back to: ripe orchard fruit with crisp minerality, with just the right amount of creaminess. A fine match to chicken or pork.
