WhiteChardonnay

コトー・ブルギニヨン
Coteaux Bourguignons

Cave de Fleurie's Coteaux Bourguignons is a Pinot Noir bottling under this regional Burgundy appellation, which permits Beaujolais-zone growers to produce wines from Burgundian varieties. Ruby red with purple glints, it shows aromas of ripe red and black berries and plum, with a supple, fruit-driven palate produced through low-temperature maceration and stainless steel élevage.
