DESCRIPTION

Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Sentier du Clou by Domaine Fernand & Laurent Pillot is a refined Burgundy Chardonnay from the Côte de Beaune in France. Sourced from rocky, limestone-rich slopes above the village of Saint-Aubin, this Premier Cru wine offers bright aromas of citrus, green apple, and white flowers, balanced by lively acidity and subtle oak aging. Elegant and mineral-driven, it pairs beautifully with seafood, scallops, poultry, and creamy cheeses, and can age gracefully for several years.

Burgundy

Burgundy (Bourgogne) is one of the world's most revered wine regions, the spiritual home of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, famous for its patchwork of single-vineyard "climats" and Grand Cru wines.

Geographic position: Eastern France, stretching about 230 km from Chablis in the Yonne south through the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune (the Côte d'Or), the Côte Chalonnaise and the Mâconnais, between Dijon and Mâcon.

Origin & history: The Romans planted vines here, but Benedictine monks of Cluny and Cistercians of Cîteaux mapped the vineyards plot by plot from the 10th century. In 1395 Duke Philip the Bold banned Gamay in favour of Pinot Noir. The climats of Burgundy became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.

Main appellations & varieties: 84 appellations, including Chablis, Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Pommard, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Mercurey and Pouilly-Fuissé, with 33 Grands Crus. Pinot Noir makes the reds, Chardonnay the whites, plus Aligoté and Gamay; Crémant de Bourgogne is the sparkling wine.

Food specialties: Bœuf bourguignon, coq au vin, escargots in garlic butter, jambon persillé, cheese gougères, Dijon mustard, Époisses cheese and crème de cassis for the kir aperitif.
