Régnard Bourgogne Chardonnay 2023

Overview

Régnard, one of the oldest and most prestigious houses in Chablis, was founded by Zéphir Régnard in 1860. In 1984, Baron Patrick de Ladoucette purchased Régnard and has perpetuated the style and tradition of the wines. \

This Bourgogne Chardonnay is made from a selection of fruit from the best terroirs in Burgundy.

Winemaking

During the harvest, all the grapes are handpicked and then pressed. The must then passes into a small vat for natural clarification and the juice is transferred to stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation. Four different types of yeast are used for fermentation, each bringing a specific character to the wine. This enables the Régnard team to achieve great complexity in its wines. Each tank receives cultural yeast to start the fermentation. 

The temperature of the fermentation is regulated at 68-71ºF by water that is circulated in the double lining of the tank. After the first fermentation, all of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. Bacteria is added to begin this fermentation, which reduces the wine’s acidity and gives it more complexity and stability.

For 6 to 8 months months, the wine ages in 100% stainless steels vats. The wine is then filtered before bottling.

Tasting Notes

A very light lemon hue. A very expressive, fresh nose with citrus aromas.Very round, lemony palate with a velvety finish.
