Axelle AC 0.75L

The Axelle is the white wine from Virgile Lignier-Michelot – a domaine that has made its name primarily through precise, terroir-faithful red wines from the heart of the Côte de Nuits. That a Chardonnay is created here shows how seriously the winery also takes the white side of Burgundy.

Virgile Lignier-Michelot cultivates his plots in Morey-Saint-Denis with the ambition of letting the soil speak — little intervention in the cellar, focus on the quality of the grapes. The Axelle is the accessible entry into this philosophy: a dry Chardonnay that shows Burgundian clarity without appearing too academic.

In the glass, it shows the connection typical for Burgundy of white stone fruit — pear, white peach — and a subtle mineral line. The acidity is present but integrated, the mouthfeel lean and direct, the finish clean and dry.

Best served at 10–12 °C. Pairs well with poultry in cream sauce, fried zander, mild goat cheese, or a simple risotto with herbs.
