This superb white wine from Domaine de la Vougeraie is a refined Burgundy Chardonnay, showing floral aromas, lemon-cake sweetness, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it offers crisp acidity with flavors of green apple, almond, and a delicate mineral undertone. Long and elegant, it finishes with a salty, lingering tension.
These reserve wines from legendary chateaux and historic vintages have been kept in temperature-controlled settings and moved minimally throughout their lives. We highly recommend storing them in a cool, dry place--if not a temperature-controlled refrigerator--horizontally to keep the corks moist and healthy. Finally, we strongly suggest using ONLY a two-prong bottle opener, often called an Ah-So wine opener or butler's friend, which allows you to extract a cork without puncturing it, critical for older bottles, as the cork may become brittle and break if using a classic corkscrew.
