The soils in the Burgundy region are renowned for their diversity and minerality. Primarily calcareous with clay inclusions, they offer excellent conditions for cultivating Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The combination of limestone and clay promotes good drainage and allows the vines to root deeply. This contributes to the development of wines with characteristic elegance, complexity, and finesse that reflect the unique features of the Burgundy terroir.
The general flavor profile of Chardonnay wines includes aromas of green apples, citrus fruits, peaches, and often tropical fruits. Depending on the winemaking process, Chardonnay can also exhibit notes of butter, vanilla, or toasted oak, particularly if aged in barriques.
