Chardonnay, Monthelie Les Toisieres, Domaine Rougeot 2020 (Burgundy, France)

On the nose it displays complex flavours of melon, apple and fresh young hazelnuts. The palate is elegant yet powerful, showcasing crunchy fresh apples and white stone fruit followed by a saline profile and toasted hazelnut edge. It matches perfectly with shellfish such as lobster and prawns, an array of cured meats, terrine, chicken and roast pork. It’s drinking deliciously now with a 35-minute decant before serving, and will age till 2026.
