STOCK YOUR CELLAR FOR SUMMER DRINKING

We’re not into oaky Chardonnay. We like our whites to be fresh, lively and complex, showing off the diversity of Burgundian minerality. You can taste the ‘terroir’ in Elden Selections White Burgundy, from Chablis, through the Cote de Beaune and onward to the south.

We will send you 2 bottles of each WHITE with GROUND SHIPPING INCLUDED:

Domaine de Cromey Bourgogne Blanc 'Le Clos' 2023
With brilliant clarity and visible density, and a hint of greeny-gold, the first attack is background floral and citrus, a classic chardonnay fruit profile, pure and grassy, slightly saline, with charming reductive smokiness. It’s persistent and subtle at the same time. A fresh charming example of white Burgundy.

Jean Dauvissat Pere et Fils Chablis Bas de Fourchaume 2022
The parcel named "Bas de Fourchaume" is located, as its name indicates, under the Premier Cru Fourchaume. Classified in the Chablis appellation, this bottom of the hillside benefits from the same South-South/West exposure as the premier cru, with deeper clay-loam soil. Long maceration on fine lees. Part in stainless steel, part in 600l oak demi-muits. Assembled after 12 months, and then another 6 months of maturation 'en masse'.  Light fining and filtering, but not cold treated, to preserve aromatic finesse.

Domaine Felix Saint Bris 'Cuvee Sainte Claire' 2021 
Discreet Sauvignon notes throughout. Grassy and slightly herbal of thyme. Biscuity. The famous gooseberry, but also lime peel, pear and green apple. Smoky minerality, slightly saline. Along mineral finish on fruit and spice. Nice one.

Domaine Germain Pere et Fils Saint Romain Blanc 2022
With admirable yields (45hl/ha), this Saint Romain white is taken seriously right from the start. Add 30% new oak and 8-9 months of aging and batonnage, and you get a very classy Chardonnay with the unique and superbly subtle Saint Romain minerality, full, rich and dense, with elegant floral notes, good acidity in its youthful charm. We found this wine on a restaurant list in Santenay and were so impressed we went the next day and became friends with the producers. 

Marchand-Tawse Bourgogne Blanc 2022
From parcels around Savigny-les Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses and the Hautes Cotes de Nuits, this is a cuvee designed to show Pascal Marchand’s vision of Chardonnay. Floral, with that Corton Mountain minerality, great acidity that makes it mouth-wateringly juicy and open. It’s ready. A lovely image of white from the middle reaches of the Cote d’Or.

Agnes Paquet Bourgogne Chardonnay 2023
Raised partly in steel with a small percentage of oak, this Chardonnay from strong limestone soils in the Hautes Cotes is crunchy, like biting in to the grape bunch, with fantastic freshness and good acidity on the finish. Mineral and pure.
