Jean Rijckaert, Uva Cordata Chardonnay 2023 White

Jean Rijckaert’s Uva Cordata Chardonnay 2023 is an elegant French white wine that combines generous fruit with refined oak ageing. Made entirely from Chardonnay and matured in older Burgundy barrels, it offers a polished expression with both freshness and depth.

Tasting Notes
The wine shows a bright straw-yellow colour in the glass. Its aromatic profile is marked by ripe pear, crisp apple and lively citrus notes, with the barrel ageing adding subtle complexity rather than overpowering the fruit. On the palate, it is generous and well-balanced, finishing with impressive length and an elegant, lingering character. Enjoyable now for its freshness and expressive fruit, the wine should also develop additional harmony and complexity over the next few years when stored in good conditions.

Production
The specific vineyard and regional terroir are not provided, but the grapes are carefully selected at harvest according to their individual level of ripeness. Vinification and ageing take place exclusively in 8- to 15-year-old Burgundy barrels for 11 months, allowing the Chardonnay to gain texture and complexity while preserving its fruit-driven character. The wine is filtered and bottled at the estate.

Food & Serving
Serve this Chardonnay lightly chilled at around 10–12°C. It is a natural match for roast poultry, grilled or baked fish, shellfish, creamy pasta dishes and mildly seasoned seafood. Decanting is not essential, although a brief period of aeration in the glass or a small carafe can help reveal its full aromatic complexity.
