Bourg Lachamps Chardonnay 2015
Ardèche IGP
Loading...
This bright fresh white is from a small quality enclave southwest of Burgundy “ideally suited to Chardonnay” (The Times) – the Ardèche. The top vintage 2015 is the perfect proof, with the grape’s characteristic creamy roundness balanced by lemon zip.

The Wine
West of the Rhône, hidden away in a maze of rugged gorges, is the Ardèche, where Chardonnay hits the high notes Burgundy fans adore. More prestigious regions often trade on reputation but acclaimed Bourg Lachamps wins you round on its luscious fruit, brisk minerality and attractive price. Its quality is the result of poor soils on steep slopes and brilliant sunshine, which promote wines with impressive intensity, ripeness and stony zip – more in the mould of a good Chablis than a white from the Rhône. Handcrafted in artisan quantities by winemakers with deep respect for elegant Chardonnay, this is an ideal dinner party wine with Burgundian intensity, finesse and length. Delicious on its own, and perfect with chicken, salmon or creamy pasta.
"Nice and crisp with a lovely buttery aftertaste. Love these southern French Chardonnays"
