Bouchard Aîné & Fils Héritage du Conseiller Chardonnay 2024 displays a luminous straw hue and an inviting, rich bouquet of nectarine and acacia aromas — refined, smooth, and harmonious on the palate, with exotic fruit flavours that culminate in a prolonged, satisfying finish. Sourced from the south and west of France, with Chardonnay from its native region adding freshness and terroir complexity, this wine is a perfect reflection of Bouchard Aîné & Fils’ commitment to enhancing varietals with finesse whilst remaining accessible to all.
Appearance
Luminous straw — the bright, inviting colour of a Chardonnay of genuine freshness and the clarity that night harvesting and careful vinification deliver.
Aroma
Nectarine and acacia lead an inviting and rich bouquet — the fruity Mediterranean character of southern French Chardonnay complemented by the freshness and complex terroir expression of Chardonnay from its native region.
Palate
Refined, smooth, and harmonious — exotic fruit flavours with genuine finesse and a prolonged, satisfying finish. Four months on fine lees, a quarter under wood for subtle structure and three quarters in stainless steel to preserve the fruit and freshness of the grape — a winemaking approach that delivers complexity without weight.
Pairs With
Grilled fish, pan-seared scallops, roasted chicken, soft cheeses, and light pasta dishes. A refined, harmonious Chardonnay of this accessibility and finesse is as comfortable at a casual dinner as it is at a more considered table.
