Introduction
The 2022 Les Perelles Bourgogne Blanc hails from Beaujolais, in the southern part of Burgundy, France. Known for its classic, refined profile, this Chardonnay brings together the region's hallmark elegance and mineral character with a touch of warmth from the 2022 vintage. It’s a versatile, food-friendly wine that showcases Old World craftsmanship with subtle complexity and balance.

Terrior
Beaujolais is known for its granitic and clay-limestone soils, ideal for producing fresh, mineral-driven wines. The climate is a mix of continental and slightly Mediterranean influences, providing warm, sunny days balanced with cooler nights, which allows for slow ripening and good acidity in Chardonnay.

Appearance
Pale gold with hints of green, the wine is clear and bright, suggesting youth and freshness.

Nose
Aromas of green apple, citrus blossom, and pear are at the forefront, complemented by delicate notes of wet stone, almond, and a whisper of white flowers.

Palate
The palate is clean and precise, showing flavors of ripe apple, lemon zest, and a touch of peach. Subtle minerality and a gentle acidity add depth, creating a medium-bodied mouthfeel with a delicate roundness from slight lees aging. Hints of hazelnut and chalky texture underscore the wine’s Burgundian roots.

Finish
The finish is refreshing and persistent, with lingering notes of citrus and stone, capturing a refined minerality that is both crisp and slightly creamy.

Overall Impression
The 2022 Les Perelles Bourgogne Blanc is a beautifully balanced Chardonnay with a nod to the terroir of Beaujolais. It combines a fresh fruit profile with mineral complexity, making it both approachable and sophisticated. This wine would pair well with seafood, poultry, or creamy cheeses.
