Domaine Jean-Jacques is an important name to look out for whilst perusing Burgundy wines. It is one of the largest wineries in the region of Savigny-Les Beaune, comprising over 40 acres, with premium plots in world-famous regions such as Pommard and Volnay.
While Savigny-Les-Beaune is best known for its red wines, and Burgundy as a whole is best known for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, head wine-makers Jean-Jacques and Victor Girard enjoy utilising some underrated Burgundy grapes. This white wine is crafted from 100% Aligoté and is a fabulous introduction to the often-overlooked grape.
The nose of this wine is marked with delicate white-fleshed fruits and white flowers. Hawthorn and acacia intermingle with apple, underripe pear and citrus zest. If you have never tried the grape before, this wine is an opportunity for a great first impression - it is a crisp drinking experience, perfect for an aperitif or relaxing on a summer day. As you move on to the palate, you can discover complex nutty notes alongside the citrus and pear. All of this is underlined by a refreshing mineral edge. Hints of tropical fruit appear in the aftertaste. Consider pairing this delightfully fresh wine with seafood, crudité, or cold cuts of meat.
They have a great selection of Georgian wines which is rare for Europe. Fast UPS shipping with delivery at your door.
