Vintage Character The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was shaped by a warm, dry summer relieved by well‑timed rains, producing fruit that was both ripe and expressive yet balanced by refreshing acidity. This Bourgogne Chardonnay shimmers a pale golden hue and opens with aromas of pear, white peach, and citrus zest, layered with acacia blossom and a delicate touch of almond.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, it is medium‑bodied, lively, and textured, with a chalky minerality that reflects its Côte de Nuits origins. The finish is crisp yet rounded, making it a versatile companion at the table. It pairs beautifully with grilled sea bass, chicken in lemon cream sauce, or a fresh chèvre salad.
Famille Messager Germain is a young domaine founded in 2023 by Adèle Germain and Simon Messager, uniting two families with deep Burgundian roots.
Winery Background Based in Nuits‑Saint‑Georges, they farm about three hectares of estate vineyards and manage an additional two hectares of négoce holdings. Their approach emphasizes organic viticulture, low yields, careful pruning, and minimal intervention in the cellar, all with the aim of highlighting terroir purity. Though still in its infancy, the domaine has quickly attracted attention for producing bright, energetic reds and mineral‑driven whites. This Bourgogne Chardonnay serves as an inviting introduction to their style—accessible, precise, and expressive of its origins.
