a great wine to class up a party
100% chardonnay with no oak
Maison Patricia Raquin is a negociant based in Savigny-les-Beaunes in the heart of Burgundy. Patricia and her husband, Alain, have been in the business for decades and they have developed some incredible relations with producers all over Burgundy. The selection process is quite similar to what we would do with our own brand Rubus. Most of the wines come from incredible vineyard sites and from growers are associated with outstanding quality. The dogs shown on the labels are Borzois, which means 'fast' in Russian. They are also called Russian Wolfhounds; a breed similar to greyhounds. Patricia and Alain are proud owners of 2 Borzois, who, as depicted on the label, guard their vaulted aging cellar inside their house.
Although labeled “Bourgogne Blanc,” this is really a wonderfully fresh and juicy Macon Chardonnay that showcases the generosity of the 2022 vintage. Done all in steel, it delivers plump stone and orchard fruit at the core with a lifting touch of lime and nicely crunchy minerality on the easy, dry, finish. A great white to class up a party and delicious with all kinds of food as well
