Château Moulin Favre, Beaujolais Blanc "Cuvée Alexis" Beaujolais, France, 2023
{sustainable} Chardonnay
PEAR, PEACH, GOLDEN APPLE & JASMINE
Céline and Armand Vernus’ standalone white cuvée comes to us from the limestone rich clay soils of southern Beaujolais, an area we typically associate with glou-glou-rific Nouveaux and other simple, fruity expressions of Gamay. Cuvée Alexis offers a rich, round, yet respendently refreshing Chardonnay with complex, layered fruit, a gentle touch of salinity, and nary a hint of oak.
Serving Suggestion: Grilled tuna steaks w/ lemon caper sauce. Fava bean soup w/ spring onions and smoked bacon. Summer squash frittata topped w/ ricotta, chives, parsley, and tarragon.
