White Beaujolais BUXY ROSTRE de BELEMNITE 2021 by the Vignerons des Pierres Dorées 75 cl

Rostre de Bélemnite 2021 – Beaujolais Blanc Chardonnay

Rostre de Bélemnite 2021 is a characterful white wine from the Vignerons des Pierres Dorées in Beaujolais, France. Made from 100% Chardonnay, it showcases the potential of the region’s white wines and the distinctive character of its clay-limestone soils. Its name refers to a fossil commonly found in the local hills, reflecting the geological heritage of the vineyard.

The wine is matured in oak barrels for approximately twelve months, adding depth and aromatic complexity. Its clear golden-yellow colour leads into a nose of vanilla and toasted notes, followed by acacia honey and ripe yellow-fleshed fruit. On the palate, it is rounded and generous, with flavours of toasted almond and a lingering finish.

Serve at around 12°C with seared scallops, chicken in a creamy sauce, fine fish dishes or mature cheeses. A rewarding choice for Chardonnay lovers looking for a textured, oak-aged white wine beyond the better-known Burgundy appellations.
