Medium-bodied and balanced, finishing salty and mouthwatering rather than heavy. Chardonnay 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBertrand Guillemaud is the fifth generation of his family to work this small estate, based in Meursault, and treats each climat separately from vine to bottling; the family farms by lutte raisonnée, ploughing instead of using herbicides, and Bertrand has his labels translated into Braille. The fruit comes from a single hectare in Meursault at 320 metres, two hundred metres from the Puligny-Montrachet boundary, on clay-limestone soils where the clay holds water through dry spells and the limestone gives Côte d'Or Chardonnay its cut; the vines are Guyot-trained and hand-harvested. Fruit was sorted, fermented on natural yeast and matured ten months in 350-litre French oak barrels, 15% of them new, for weight and lees complexity. 2021 was a hard Burgundy vintage, with April frost cutting yields and a cool, wet summer demanding constant vigilance, but what survived ripened cleanly and gave light, fresh, mineral wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 11-13°C. Roast chicken, scallops, veal in cream, or a mild washed-rind cheese. Drinking well now and over the next two to three years; no decanting needed. Sealed with a DIAM closure. Fined using a milk-derived product, so suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Bertrand Guillemaud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58476214878591,"sku":"HNW-4238021A","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4192\/4998\/files\/4238021A.jpg?v=1789919929","url":"https:\/\/www.edkawines.com\/products\/2021-bourgogne-chardonnay-cote-d-or-domaine-bertrand-guillemaud","provider":"Edka Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
