Tasting Note:
Domaine Duverne’s 2024 “Terres du Milieu” is a fresh, expressive Chardonnay from the limestone-rich hills of southern Burgundy. Ripe pear, green apple, lemon zest, white peach, and delicate white flowers lead into a lively, gently textured palate. Bright acidity balances the wine’s orchard fruit, while subtle mineral notes carry through a clean, refreshing finish. An approachable, food-friendly white Burgundy that pairs beautifully with seafood, roast poultry, and simple vegetable dishes.

About the Producer:
Domaine Duverne is a small Burgundy producer working in the Mâconnais, where the limestone-rich hillsides of southern Burgundy offer a distinctive expression of Chardonnay. The domaine’s “Terres du Milieu” comes from Mâcon-Bray, a lesser-known village appellation northwest of Mâcon, where varied elevations and clay-limestone soils contribute to wines with freshness, texture, and mineral character. The bottling offers an opportunity to discover a quieter corner of Burgundy, highlighting the appeal of village-level Chardonnay beyond the region’s more celebrated appellations.
