Domaine Albert Sounit - Vignes de Chateau-Beau | Mercurey Blanc
White wine | France, BOURGOGNE COTES CHALONNAISE | 2022
Light golden in color. The nose is complex, offering notes of white flowers, mango, exotic fruit, toasted bread, and butter. On the palate it opens full and rich, with a smooth, buttery character, perfectly harmonious layers of yellow fruit, a touch of oak, and a beautifully balanced, lingering finish.

About Dom. Albert Sounit
Crémant de Bourgogne is the specialization of this small house that is located in Rully, the heart of the Crémant de Bourgogne region. The sparkling wines of Sounit are regularly labeled as extremely beautiful wines by the international press. In addition, they feed a number of beautiful silent white and red wines on a small scale, whereby respect for the "terroir" is paramount. At Sounit wines are still being raised that are authentic to the Châlonnaise region. The wood upbringing (common for many burgundies) is applied in a balanced way, with the result: fresh, generous and yet robust Burgundy as the wines from this region should be.
