White wines : Tonnerre

The Bourgogne Tonnerre vineyards are located in the valley of the river Armançon. Bourgogne Tonnerre chardonnary grows best on argilo-calcerous soils (with an upper Kimmeridgeian layer). The tonnerrois is a very valleyed region and
comparatively sheltered. The appellation covers particurlarly well exposed south and south-east facing slopes.

It is a dry, fruity wine. Bourgogne Tonnerre has a fine, clear and characteristically pronounced golden colour.
A very fine and aromatic wine, it opens on hints of florals, exotic and white fruits, as well as citrus notes. It is frank, tender, as well as having a certain roundness, and bursts in the mouth with slight mineral notes.
