Domaine Dujardin Monthélie “La Combe Danay” 2022 – Burgundy, Chardonnay

An elegant Chardonnay from the heart of Monthélie, grown on deep brown limestone soils rich in minerality. Lightly pressed and fermented in barrel with bâtonnage, it matures 11 months in oak before gentle filtration. Brilliant gold in hue, it reveals delicate aromas of white flowers and citrus, leading to a smooth, refined palate with subtle mineral notes and graceful length. Balanced, fresh, and beautifully composed — a poised expression of Monthélie terroir.

Ned Notes: Cantaloupe, talc and jasmine. A taut, compact and tightly wound wine, demanding a little patience. Nervous in the mouth, this should calm down in five-years or so 92
