This Le Renard Chardonnay is drinking at its peak, offering a delightful balance of freshness and complexity—perfect for enjoying now.”. ABOUT THE WINE. The Devillard family, known for their prestigious Burgundian estates such as Domaine des Perdrix, Château de Chamirey, and Domaine de la Ferté, bring the same expertise to the Le Renard range. Sourced from carefully selected growers, this Chardonnay is crafted by the same skilled winemaking team behind renowned Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines, ensuring quality and character in every bottle.. TASTING NOTES. The 2018 Le Renard Chardonnay has evolved beautifully, showcasing layers of ripe apple, peach, and subtle spice, balanced by a refreshing acidity that has retained its vibrancy. A gentle touch of creaminess from bottle age adds depth, while the wine remains lively and expressive, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate aged white Burgundy with complexity and charm.. FOOD PAIRING. This versatile Chardonnay pairs wonderfully with roast chicken and root vegetables, delicate cheeses, or even pan-seared seafood, complementing both its fruit-forward character and elegant structure.
