The Bernardus Chardonnay from Monterey County, California, is an elegant white wine that combines craftsmanship and the region's unique terroirs. This refined wine pays tribute to Burgundian tradition while simultaneously reflecting the expressiveness of California's vineyards.

Vineyard and Vinification

The grapes for Bernardus Chardonnay are grown in select vineyards in cool Monterey County, a region known for its ideal climate for Chardonnay. The proximity of the Pacific Ocean provides a natural cooling effect, resulting in slow ripening of the grapes. This preserves their freshness and aromatic complexity. The wine is fermented and aged in French oak barrels, some of which are new. This oak aging gives the wine its characteristic creamy texture and subtle notes of vanilla and toasted nuts. Contact with the lees during aging ("sur lie") adds extra depth and complexity to the flavor.

Tasting notes

This Chardonnay has a beautiful, light golden color. The nose reveals enticing aromas of ripe pear, apricot, vanilla, and a hint of lemon zest. On the palate, the wine offers a rich, creamy texture with notes of tropical fruit, butter, and a subtle minerality. The balanced acidity gives the wine a fresh and refined finish.

Serving suggestions

The Bernardus Chardonnay is a versatile companion for refined dishes. Pair it with grilled fish, lobster in butter sauce, or a creamy mushroom risotto. It also pairs beautifully with a selection of soft cheeses. Serve the wine at 10-12°C to fully experience its aromas and texture.
