Description

2014 is a superb vintage for the white wines of Burgundy, enabling Jean-Luc Terrier and Christian Collovray to bottle for us another beautiful Chardonnay that sings the qualities of the region. The bouquet is brimming with fruits while the palate conveys a lovely mineral thread to balance the juicy nature of the ripe peach, pear and yellow plum fruit. A delight on its own or to accompany a range of fish or poultry dishes.
Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Wine Director

This wine is part of our range of Highly Dependable wines
Just as you can learn much from a restaurant’s house wine, you should also be able to judge a wine merchant by its own-label bottles, and we wouldn't put our name to anything which wasn't delicious to drink. Our range of Highly Dependable wines is just that: a marque that stands for reliable good value, and taste, be it a classic Argentinian Malbec or our carefully-crafted Reserve White.

About this WINE

Domaine des Deux Roches

Domaine des Deux Roches

Winemakers Jean-Luc Terrier and Christian Collovray of Domaine des Deux Roches have built up an impressive array of vineyards in Burgundy, today owning around 50 hectares.

Across the board, their wines are among the very best expressions of the diverse terroirs of the Mâconnais, from the bright and breezy Bourgogne Blanc Tradition, vinified and raised exclusively in stainless steel, to the rich, textured St Véran, Les Terres Noires.

The winery itself is located in the village of Davayé, and the majority of the vineyards lie within site of the region’s most famous landmarks – the magnificent twin escarpments of Solutré and Vergisson.

This dynamic duo is also responsible for our much-loved Own Selection White Burgundy.

Chardonnay

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or.

Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.

It is quantitatively important in California and Australia, is widely planted in Chile and South Africa, and is the second most widely planted grape in New Zealand. In warm climates Chardonnay has a tendency to develop very high sugar levels during the final stages of ripening and this can occur at the expense of acidity. Late picking is a common problem and can result in blowsy and flabby wines that lack structure and definition.

Recently in the New World, we have seen a move towards more elegant, better- balanced and less oak-driven Chardonnays, and this is to be welcomed.
