Country: France, Burgundy, Cote De Beaune
Grape Varieties: 100% Chardonnay
Grape Varieties: 100% Chardonnay
Au Pied du Mont Chauve is one of the Picard family`s labels. The estate produces brilliant-value Burgundy and is one of few producers able to hold back wine for later release. The wines are made at the Ch. de Chassagne-Montrachet, a huge property based in the heart of the village in the Côte de Beaune. The wines are labeled under Au Pied du Mont Chauve, however, because the château name legally belongs to the neighboring estate Domaine Bader-Mimeur.
Tasting Notes: Complex nose with citrusy notes, lemon, bitter orange followed with a minty sensation and toasted bread. Round, generous and straight. Pure and pleasant for drinking now. Food Pairing: Pairs well with chicken and turkey
Bourgogne Chardonnay is typically medium-bodied with medium acidity and a rich, rounded, golden character, which carries oak influence well. The fruit character tends to encompass the full spectrum of green and yellow fruit from lime and lemon to golden apple and peach. These wines are almost always dry.

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is the "Big Daddy" of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world. It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or.
Burgundy is Chardonnay`s spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvelous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.
It is quantitatively important in California and Australia, is widely planted in Chile and South Africa, and is the second most widely planted grape in New Zealand. In warm climates Chardonnay has a tendency to develop very high sugar levels during the final stages of ripening and this can occur at the expense of acidity. Late picking is a common problem and can result in blowsy and flabby wines that lack structure and definition.
Recently in the New World, we have seen a move towards more elegant, better- balanced and less oak-driven Chardonnays, and this is to be welcomed.
