Domaine Fichet "Jeunes Vignes" Chardonnay 2023

Bright clean melon and white citrus aromatics, a bit of crisp apple and pear fruit, lightly salty minerality, a fresh, cleansing acidity and a fleshy natural mouthfeel with no oak presence. Just a touch of malolactic to round out the finish.

This is a great deal for Chardonnay planted just outside the boundary of the Maconnais in Burgundy. As a result, it has no appellation status and is labelled a Vin de France.
