Labouré-Roi Bourgogne Chardonnay
Wine Description
Bourgogne Blanc is a blend of Chardonnay grapes from various origins; this allows it to benefit from the northern wines’ freshness, minerality, and vigor; the Macon and Côte Chalonnaise wines’ fullness and roundness, and the Côte d’Or wines’ power and complexity.
