FRENCH CHARDONNAY
CORTON -CHARLEMAGNE
Corton-Charlemagne is only surpassed by Le Montrachet at the summit of White Burgundy. The
wines are immensely concentrated, waiting to release a lion of Chardonnay with bottle age.

complex, and citrusy with minerally flavors that no other wine region can imitate.

Chardonnay and Food
Although Chardonnay is viewed by many wine lover as the universal meal wine that goes with everything, it does have it's limitations. We caution our guests against choosing Chardonnay with spicy hot dishes such as salmon with a cajun rub; the heat of the spice tends to exaggerate the hotness of the
alcohol and render the wine quite unpleasant. The simpler Chardonnay pair well with many of our
appetizers. The prestige versions have richer and more distinct flavors intense enough to match
seafood and red meats, especially dishes with rich and creamy sauces.
MEURSAULT
Meursault is often richer and more buttery than Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, with
it's lush, buttery fruit of apples and nuts. Meursaults tend to lean closer to a New World Chardonnay
in style.
