About The Winery

Country: France
Region:
Burgundy

Domaine Deux Roches is a highly respected estate led by the Collovray and Terrier families, deeply rooted in the Mâconnais region of Burgundy. The "Plan B" is their wonderfully approachable, fun, and modern take on the classic white grape. It is crafted to be a highly accessible, fruit-driven Vin de France that delivers immediate pleasure and vibrant energy without the need for extended aging.

Terroir: While labeled under the broader Vin de France designation, the grapes benefit from the expertise of an estate that intimately understands clay-limestone soils. The fruit is sourced from carefully selected parcels designed to ensure optimal sun exposure and steady ripening. This guarantees a generous, sun-kissed fruit profile while perfectly retaining the essential, lively natural acidity required for a refreshing white wine.

Style: This is a vibrant, 100% Chardonnay style, explicitly designed for immediate enjoyment and pure, unmasked fruit expression.

Vinification: The winemaking is purely focused on freshness and primary aromas. Following the harvest, the grapes are gently pressed, and the juice is fermented entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. It is intentionally kept completely away from oak barrels to preserve its zesty, thirst-quenching character and its crisp, energetic profile.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: A bright, clear pale yellow hue with lively greenish reflections.

Nose: Highly fresh, expressive, and fruit-forward. It opens with vibrant, pure aromas of crisp green apple, juicy white pear, and a splash of fresh lemon juice. Subtle, delicate hints of white blossoms add an elegant floral touch to the bouquet.

Palate: Crisp, easy-going, and remarkably refreshing. The attack is driven by a lively, mouth-watering acidity that perfectly supports the generous flavors of fresh orchard fruit and zesty citrus. Unencumbered by heavy oak, the texture is brilliantly clean and fluid, leading to a vibrant, thirst-quenching finish that naturally invites another sip.
