Domaine Robert-Denogent Vire-Clesse Les Chazelles 2016
Chardonnay | France
Aromas of almond and hazelnut soar from the glass, with the bright citrus and stone fruit following on the palate. Rich and creamy, with loads of acidity, this is a very welcome addition to the Denogent family’s lineup.
When first tasting the wines of Domaine Robert-Denogent, it is essential to put aside any preconceived notions about the young, over-cropped whites of southern Burgundy. These are wines of a much different class, whose reflection of terroir is one more likely found farther north in the prestigious Cote d’Or. Jean-Jacques Robert took over five hectares of his grandfather’s vines in the Maconnais just outside the village of Fuisse after finishing law school in 1988.
