This bright Chardonnay opens with aromas of apple, citrus peel and a clean mineral lift. It's supple and rounded, with dried fruit notes which tighten beautifully into a focused, compact finish. Wrapping up with a refreshing burst of grapefruit and pear skin. Delicious!

Domaine Philippe Charmond sits in the postcard-pretty village of Vergisson, right in the heart of Burgundy’s southern reaches. With the dramatic rocks of Solutré and Vergisson rising nearby, the domaine’s landscape feels both peaceful and quietly grand. Their 8 hectares span some of the most beloved appellations - Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran, and Mâcon - where Chardonnay thrives in all its expressive, layered glory. Clay-limestone soils, from chalky marl to crumbly shale, give these wines their signature mix of fruit, freshness, and finesse. Here, the work is thoughtful and hands-on: most of the harvesting is done manually, grapes are pressed whole, and fermentation unfolds in a balanced mix of 225-litre barrels and temperature-controlled stainless steel. Beneath it all lies a semi-underground cellar that keeps the bottles in steady, cool conditions year-round. Domaine Philippe Charmond embraces tradition but keeps a keen eye on the shifting climate, adapting with care while staying true to Burgundy’s quietly elegant spirit. Each wine they produce feels like a reflection of this dedication - precise, generous, and grounded in a deep respect for their land.
