Therese 2023 Domaine de La Chappe
Therese from Domaine de La Chappe is an extraordinary Chardonnay that perfectly represents the wild side of Burgundy. With enveloping aromas of vanilla, yellow plum, and peach melba, this wine immediately captivates the senses with its almost electric golden yellow color. On the palate, Therese is rich and full-bodied, with a pleasant persistent acidity and a slight oxidation that adds complexity.
This wine is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from a family plot located near Chablis. The grapes are harvested by hand, and the juice is gently pressed. Slow fermentation takes place in oak barrels for a period of 7-10 days, followed by aging for 8-10 months. Therese is neither fined nor filtered, and no sulfites are added, preserving its natural authenticity.
In the mouth, Therese offers an enveloping texture and significant weight, with lively notes of citrus, vanilla, melon, and stone fruit leading to an extraordinarily long and fascinating finish. This wine is perfect as an aperitif, but also pairs wonderfully with light dishes, seafood, pasta, and the classic cheese platter accompanied by crusty baguette.
In summary, Therese from Domaine de La Chappe is a special and delicious wine, classic yet unique, with a funky and savory touch that sets it apart. A true gem for lovers of natural wine and authentic Burgundy.
