Bourgogne Blanc Les 2 Dindes 2021: Chardonnay according to Antoine Olivier

The Bourgogne Blanc Les 2 Dindes 2021 is a cuvée from Domaine Antoine Olivier, based in Santenay, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune. This family-run Burgundian estate pays particular attention to respecting the soil and expressing the terroir. With this cuvée, the winemaker showcases Chardonnay in a style that combines fruit, freshness and roundness.

A Chardonnay from the Burgundian terroirs

Made from 100% Chardonnay, Burgundy’s iconic white grape variety, this wine benefits from a limestone terroir that brings out its freshness and finesse. The 2021 vintage in the Burgundy vineyards was characterised by challenging weather conditions, resulting in wines often marked by a lively acidity. For this cuvée, tastings reveal distinct fruitiness, lovely intensity and a generous texture.

Careful winemaking and ageing

Fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, using indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation helps to soften the wine’s natural liveliness. Ageing continues for around 12 months in used oak barrels, on the lees, followed by a further six months in stainless steel vats. This method allows the body and aromatic complexity to develop whilst preserving the expression of the fruit. The oak lends subtlety rather than a dominant toasty character.

A versatile white wine for the table

On the nose, this Bourgogne Blanc reveals notes of white peach and green apple, complemented by hints of lemon and vanilla. On the palate, its roundness is balanced by a lingering freshness and a delicately briny finish.

Serve it at between 10 and 12 °C with scallops, grilled fish, shellfish or poultry in a creamy sauce. It also pairs very well with fresh goat’s cheese. Les 2 Dindes 2021 is an enticing choice for discovering Burgundian Chardonnay in a delicious and well-balanced expression.
