Domaine de la Denante Chardonnay Bourgogne 2018
BOOM! On the heels of yesterday's “cellar centerpiece” wine, we do a full 180 turn to HIGHLY quaffable WHITE BURGUNDY, yes, Chardonnay from the finest place on Earth to grow it. Highlights include:
30+ year old Chardonnay vines!
Our blisteringly skin-tingling price
Tongue-tinglingly piquant, stainless-steel fermented zippity-doo-dah freshness
Priced to drink every day, direct-imported from France for your quaffing pleasure, a nothing-short-of-delightful nearly 50% OFF (for white Burg? Does that ever happen?)
Guaranteed to please - we know because our sample bottle was drained in about 14 minutes by a very happy Last Bottle staff…
Anyway, this IS simply delicious, and by simply we mean this isn’t a $150 white you need to get all geeky about (like, hmmmm, is that crushed rocks, or crushed oyster shells or crushed quartzite…?) - no, you just drink it and love it and wonder how it can be so satisfying at $15???
Zippy, clean and pure, as it should be. Starts out brisk, and as it soaks into your palate you get a hint of tropical fruit along with crunchy pear, tart citrus fruits, tangerine and preserved lemon. Nicely balanced, and just lifts the spirits in one sip. We bought as much as we could at this absurdly excellent price….while it lasts!
We are a family Domaine and have developed our skills over the years out of love and respect for the traditions of our region with the aim of producing wines of character, which are both fine and subtle and appreciated by wine-lovers and wine-experts alike.

About The Producer
My father, Robert, started the Domaine in 1982 with only two hectares of vineyards in Mâcon Davayé. Over the years we have acquired more vineyards so that when I joined him in 2010, we had 10 hectares. Now I am managing the Domaine, we have almost 20 hectares in the heart of the Mâconnais region with vineyards extending from Davayé towards the feet of the two famous rocky outcrops, the rock of Solutré and the rock of Vergisson.
While we do have small parcels of Pinot Noir and Gamay planted for our red wines, the majority of our vineyards are planted with Chardonnay. These are spread across numerous parcels, producing wines of individual character due to their particular exposition, slope, soil, and microclimate, or ‘terroir’ as we call it in French.
Our year-round work in the vineyards and in the winery has one aim: quality. We are meticulous in all we do: the soil, the vine, the grape all deserve our passion and the attention to the finest detail to produce the best possible wine.
Pairing Suggestions
