Burgundy, France

100% Chardonnay

Domaine Cognard is a small, family-run estate in southern Burgundy, led by Laurent Cognard. Rooted in vineyards planted by his parents, Laurent works with a quiet, thoughtful touch, focusing on precision, balance, and transparency. His approach blends traditional Burgundian sensibility—hand harvesting, gentle pressing, and restrained oak—with a modern emphasis on freshness and site expression. The result is Chardonnay that feels honest, food-friendly, and unmistakably tied to place. The nose is fresh and elegant, with notes of white fruit and acacia blossom, leading to a palate marked by citrus, dry fruit, and balanced density. It’s a Chardonnay that quietly overdelivers—precise, expressive, and beautifully poised between richness and freshness.
