Chardonnay 2018 Domaine Jean Bourdy 75 cl

Description

History

Among the oldest wineries in Europe, this one has roots that date back to 1579 in Arlay, a small village next to the Jura mountains. Passed down from generation to generation fifteen times, through different centuries, it has always remained under the control of the same family. In addition to its centuries-old history, Bourdy is renowned for its collection of ancient vintages, which range back to 1926 for the reds, 1911 for the whites and even 1865 for the prestigious Château-Chalons. These wines are appreciated not only for their historical value, but also for their time-defying complexity. In 1990 the company was completely renovated and the vineyard ownership grew from 4 to 10 hectares, following a sustainable approach.
