Extra information:

The small renowned Domaine Dupont-Fahn is located in Burgundy, for connoisseurs right next to the wine village of Meursault. The winery was founded in 1975 by Dupont-Fahn's grandfather. The Chardonnay vines were planted in 1929. Now beautiful wines are produced that are in no way inferior to many premium crus, even though this area does not have this classification.

The name Dupont-Fahn is a portmanteau of his father's name, a winemaker, and his mother's name, a well-known American wine importing family.

The wines of this winery differ slightly in taste from the wines from the area. The owner is a bit quirky. For example, he also makes a rosé in a region that originally only houses Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. That is why he is an odd duck in the bite in that respect. He also harvests very late in the season.

As a result, the yields of the vineyard are always slightly lower, but the taste is much more robust and exuberant than many of its peers. We therefore recommend that you drink this wine young. The wine is aged for ten months in oak barrels. This leads to an intense, ripe and exotic tasting Chardonnay with a nice long finish.
