CORK & CURD Genetie ‘Illuminé’ Bourgogne Chardonnay

Genetie ‘Illuminé’ Bourgogne Chardonnay 2024

The word Genetie engraved in the footstone of a pillar that holds up a 16th century house situated at the heart of an estate in Southern Burgundy and inspired the name of this wine. The fruit is sourced from a 12 hectare plot in the village of Bussières, in the south of the Mâconnais region and the average vine age is about 40 years old.

Grown in classic argilo-calcaire, a soil that is known to suit Chardonnay, this is an elegant and accessible wine. 10% of the wine is barrel aged to give a more textural, slightly creamy element to the mouthfeel. This factor, combined with the citrus and floral notes that layer on the nose and palate, provide both a contrast and complement to the creamy, lactic character of the Lindley. The underlying minerality and fresh acidity on the palate and finish further enhance this dynamic with the cheese.
