Champlitte Chardonnay Blanc "Par Amour" 2020 | Wine from Domaine de la Paturie

Born from the initiative of Albert Demard, the Domaine de la Pâturie was established in 1974 in the heart of the village of Champlitte in Haute-Saône, in Franche-Comté. Halfway between Champagne and Burgundy, Champlitte is a place of rich and varied terroirs. In 2017, Julia Joyandet, a native of the village, took over the estate to perpetuate and modernize this heritage. The estate now specializes in refined wines such as Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Gris.

The Wine: Champlitte Chardonnay Blanc "Par Amour" 2020
The "Par Amour" vintage 2020 is a true ode to the Chardonnay of Franche-Comté. Its pale yellow glow hints at a minerality and freshness that are confirmed on the nose and palate. This dry white wine reveals subtle notes of flint, reminiscent of the limestone terroir of Champlitte, as well as aromas of yellow fruits and white flowers like acacia, giving it incomparable elegance and lightness. This wine is designed to reflect the quintessence of Chardonnay, combining both freshness and complexity.

• Appearance: Pale yellow, bright.
• Nose: Mineral with smoky notes of flint, warm stones, and fruity aromas of peach and acacia flowers.
• Palate: Ample and gourmet, with a straight and precise structure. Salty finish with a beautiful length.

The Champlitte Chardonnay Blanc "Par Amour" 2020 pairs perfectly with seafood dishes, grilled fish, or poultry in light sauce. It also enhances cheese-based dishes like Comté, a signature of the region.
