Details
What a deliciously juicy and creamy Chardonnay. Full of fresh orchard fruit flavours like nectarine and peaches with a silken creamy texture. A soft touch of sweet brioche notes adds extra layers of complexity and savoury finesse that balance its friendly, ripe fruit character. Though Domaine Bouché is most famous for their sparkling wines, this still wine is testament to how the family carries over the same rich and elegant expression no matter the wine style!

Origin: Burgundy, in eastern France. Mainly Grown In: France, USA, Australia, Italy, Chile, South Africa, Argentina, Spain, NZ… all over, really! Key Facts: Chardonnay is one flexible, sassy grape. It grew up in a place called Burgundy in France, and has travelled to California, Australia, other parts of France, South America... all over the world basically. It can be zesty and fresh in cooler climates, and richer and creamier in warmer ones. It's also one of the few white varieties that performs just as well when treated with oak as it does without. This winemaking change can also affect the body and texture of the wine, leading to a totally different drinking experience. So remember, not all Chardonnays are alike, but we've picked only the best ones for you :) Fun Fact: Did you know that Chardonnay is one of the main grapes used in the famous sparkling wines of Champagne?

Pairing guide
Rounded yet racy, luxurious yet oh-so drinkable, it’s no surprise we can’t get enough of this beautiful Chardonnay from Domaine Bouché. It’s the perfect pairing for more opulent seafood dishes, especially big juicy prawns fried in garlic butter, scallops, and lobster, and will work very well with seafood ravioli or other unctuous pasta dishes. Chicken and pork in cream and leek sauces will match with real panache, and it’s a top choice for all your favourite smoked salmon and avocado dishes, too!
