{"product_id":"2024-domaine-de-colonat-beaujolais-blanc","title":"2024 Domaine de Colonat Beaujolais Blanc Chardonnay","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBeaujolais is red country, and Domaine de Colonat has built its reputation on Gamay. But the Chardonnay they produce from clay-limestone soils in the communes of Lancié and Corcelles is worth paying close attention to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHand harvested and sorted, pressed immediately and fermented slowly at cool temperatures. Eight months in a combination of oak barrels (20%) and stainless steel (80%) gives a bit of texture but keeps freshness at the forefront.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis isn't some luscious, powerful white Burg, but nor is it washed out, simple Macon. It's crisp and precise, with lovely line and length and enough structure to handle food without any heaviness. Lovely soft, gentle fruit, some nice florals and spice around the edges, and balance spot on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFor a domaine celebrated for its Gamay, the Chardonnay more than holds its own. And extraordinary value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"There are always consumers with preconceived notions about Beaujolais wines, but today I take it as a game to convince them.
