2016 Huber-Verdereau Burgundy Chardonnay “Les Lameroses”

Fruity Chardonnay, on citrus with hints of lemon, grapefruit . Very fresh on the palate and at the same time quite round. A wine to consume quickly that can be enjoyed as an aperitif, with salads.

Domaine Huber-Verdereau was founded by Thiébault Huber in 1994, but originates in the 19th century with several generations of the Verdereau family in Volnay, including Thiébault’s grandfather Raoul Verdereau. The domaine encompasses 9.5 hectares, with holdings in Volnay, Pommard, and Meursault. Since 2005, Thiébault has converted all holdings to organic and biodynamic farming, and is Demeter-certified. He adheres to minimalist intervention in winemaking, with no battonage, filtration only when needed, 20-30% new oak, and aging of 12-14 months for the Cru wines. Thiébault is a rising star in Burgundy and his joyous, thoughtful manner is reflected in his focused wines.
