Rijckaert 2023 Bourgogne Chardonnay
Founded by Jean Rijckaert in 1998 after a decade around the village of age of working in the Mâcon. He was able to get 4 hectares of top-quality vines in Viré (he also owns 5 hectares in the Jura). Today Jean’s understudy Florent Rouve is in charge and has continued right where Jean left off making wines focused on organic farming with ecological diversity in the vineyards and a light hand in the cellar.
Bourgogne Blanc is 100% declassified Mâcon village fermented with native yeast and then remains on the lees with no stirring. The wine is aged in 10% new 500 liter barrels. This is an easy-going, clean, fresh, medium bodied white Burgundy ready to drink now!
