Château Philippe le Bold - Clos de la Chaise Dieu Monopole

Delve deep into the rich tapestry of Burgundy's wine heritage with Château Philippe le Hardi. A striking castle, marked with glazed tiles, stands as a testimony to the region's deep history. Wine is not just about taste; it is a journey through time and culture. Philippe le Hardi, once the son of the French king, Jean le Bon, ruled as the proud owner of the castle. As time progressed, a series of inheritances and acquisitions formed what is now a vast patchwork of vineyard plots, covering both the Côte d'Or and the Côte Chalonnaise. These varied "climates" produce a diverse range of wines each year, including everything from the esteemed Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru to Pommard and Aloxe-Corton. And for those who are as passionate about history as they are about wine, the castle welcomes daily visitors. A tour through its corridors ends in the grandeur of 9th-century vaulted cellars, where tastings become time travel.

Now let's talk about the Clos de la Chaise Dieu Monopole. Made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, this wine captures the spirit of its origins. The winemaking process, deeply rooted in tradition, ensures that the character of the grape shines. When poured, the wine reveals a radiant golden hue. Take a moment, close your eyes and breathe. The olfactory experience is profound, with notes of fresh green apples, sweetened peaches and a subtle hint of vanilla. On the palate it reveals layers of complexity, combining a silky texture with balanced acidity, leading to a finish that lingers and invites another sip.

And the perfect dish to go with it? Imagine: a platter of fresh seafood, creamy pasta dishes or even a spicy goat cheese salad. This wine not only complements the dish, but takes the entire dining experience to a higher level.
