2019 Dubreuil Chardonnay FAQs
What is the 2019 Dubreuil Chardonnay? It's a rare French white wine made by Bordeaux winemaker Benoit Trocard in Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, near Saint-Émilion. It carries the Vin de France classification because Chardonnay isn't a traditional Bordeaux grape, making this something of a personal side project for the winemaker.
Why is this wine classified as Vin de France instead of Bordeaux? Chardonnay isn't an approved grape under Bordeaux AOC regulations. Even though the grapes are grown and made in Bordeaux by a local winemaker, using Chardonnay means the wine has to be labeled under the broader Vin de France designation rather than a specific regional AOC.
What does the 2019 Dubreuil Chardonnay taste like? It has a rich yet fresh profile with stone fruit, citrus, and mineral notes. Given its Bordeaux origins and small production, it tends to show more elegance and complexity than the richer, oakier style of some Burgundian Chardonnays.
What is the alcohol content? French Chardonnay typically falls around 13 to 13.5 percent alcohol by volume, though it can vary slightly by vintage.
How limited is the production of Dubreuil Chardonnay? Production is very small, only around 4,700 bottles a year. That makes it a rare, collectible wine that's hard to find outside specialty retailers.
Can I personalize a bottle of Dubreuil Chardonnay? Yes, Personal Wine offers custom label personalization on many bottles. You can add a name, monogram, or message to turn it into a memorable, one of a kind gift.
Is the 2019 Dubreuil Chardonnay a good gift? It's a great pick for wine enthusiasts who love discovering unusual, rare bottles. The combination of Bordeaux provenance and Chardonnay grape makes it both a conversation piece and a genuine collector's wine.
What foods pair well with Dubreuil Chardonnay? It pairs nicely with grilled fish, lobster, roasted chicken, creamy pasta dishes, and soft cheeses. Its freshness and minerality make it a versatile wine for lighter meals.
