In 2015, Les Caves Bailly Lapierre and Les Vignerons de Buxy joined forces to form a cooperative. They now collaborate with some 430 winegrowers to produce wines of the highest quality. The vineyards are located near the Burgundy border, in the town of Auxerrois, to be precise. They have a unique way of producing refreshing wines. In recent years, they have been producing sparkling wines that are beloved worldwide and offer a fine alternative to the more expensive wines from the Champagne region. Generally, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes are used in the blend, with the local Aligote grape adding a touch of local flavor.
This 100 percent Chardonnay wine reflects a glass filled with finesse, structure, and pure refreshment. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand at peak ripeness and transported in small baskets. Arriving at the winery, the grapes are undamaged and rigorously selected. The wine is aged for 18 months in cold, limestone cellars. This ensures the wine's clarity and soft notes.
The result is an intense Chardonnay. With a beautiful bubble, this Chardonnay radiates with clear notes of toast, vanilla, and white fruit on the nose. The flavor is equally intense, with abundant fruit and subtle spice. Rich and creamy with plenty of finesse, this Chardonnay pairs perfectly with sushi or fish dishes.
