What it pairs with

  • Poulet à la crème de la mère Blanc
    Cream-enriched Bresse chicken sauce matches the wine's gentle richness and acidity.
  • Sole meunière
    The wine's citrus-butter character echoes the classic meunière sauce.
  • Scallops with cauliflower purée
    Chalky mineral Chardonnay is a natural match for scallop sweetness.

History

Jean-Paul Brun's Beaujolais Blanc draws on the unique golden-limestone terroir of the Pierres Dorées sub-zone in southern Beaujolais, a distinct expression of Chardonnay rarely seen at this appellation level.
