Domaine de la Jaubertie Périgord Chardonnay 2019

The father of the current owner and winemaker Hugh Ryman, who started the domaine, was a great lover of chardonnay and brought the grape to Bergerac. Because this is almost never found there and is not permitted in the Bergerac denomination of origin, Ryman is obliged to sell the wine as 'regional wine'.

The vineyards, certified organic since 2009, are located on highly clay-calcareous soils. The way of making wine is also very similar to the way in which classic white Burgundy is produced.

After fermentation, the wine matures in the lie (yeast cells) for about 6 months, giving the Chardonnay a rich, 'buttery' taste. This special white wine from Hugh Ryman is therefore very successful, but is only produced in a limited way and is quickly sold out every year.
