ABOUT THIS WINE:
Aurélien Verdet
Blanc Hautes-Côtes de Nuits
Across the globe, Burgundy’s white wines are often considered to be the finest wines produced from the Chardonnay grape, and this bottle is no exception.

WINE REGION:
Burgundy
Burgundy is the spiritual home of many of today's favorite winemaking styles. Steeped in history and prestige, it is the source of some of the most expensive wines in the world. A sprawling collection of tiny winemaking provinces (made up of over 100 different appellations), Burgundy is where the world's premier Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines originated. Regions and subregions like Pouilly-Fuissé, Vosne-Romanée, Chassagne-Montrachet exude grandeur and opulence. While Burgundy is centered around a hallowed limestone escarpment known as the Côte d'Or, it actually stretches 200 miles, from Chablis just southeast of Paris, down to the Beaujolais plains above Lyon.
