Details and technical informations about Winery Flywheel's Brosseau Vineyard Chardonnay.
Discover the grape variety: Gros Bourgogne
Simple, dry and fresh whites with a pale golden colour, a supple palate with moderate acidity and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. A discreet rustic profile. Almost disappeared from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of Burgundy. Rare French white variety, once grown in Burgundy and the central regions.
