Laleure-Piot Burgundy originates from a selection of our best barrels of Chardonnay. The grapes are grown in the classic regions of Puligny, Meursault, and Rully, and harvested with exceptional care by hand. This harmonious blend gives both the classic character of Chardonnay from the Côte d’Or and the floral elegance typical of the Côte Châlonnaise. The soil is comprised of argilo-calcaire (clay-limestone). Aging is performed in oak barrels – 20% of which is new. Best paired as an aperitif or with risotto, sweetbreads of veal in a cream sauce, and with cheeses such as Brie, Chaource, and Vacherin.
TASTING NOTES
The palette is led by a bright yellow color with golden highlights, with a nose of beautiful aromatic intensity that is rich and well opened, with notes of exotic fruits, white flowers, caramel and vanilla on a background of toasted bread. Fresh on the palate, with an opulent body that is smooth and round. An aromatic persistence of fruit on the finish, united with a good balance between the acidity and the roundness. Serve chilled at 50-54ºF.
