For the owners and oenologists of Bourgogne domain Badet Clément, it is a challenge to create a Burgundy style in the south of France. Laurent Delaunay in particular is a specialist in finding vineyards that give the grapes a characteristic expression.

For the white Pontificis white, he selected cool, high-altitude vineyards where the chardonnay and viognier grapes can mature optimally. After fermentation follows a classic maturation in small oak casks and the batonnage technique – originally from Burgundy – is applied. This makes the wine taste wonderfully full and creamy.

Thanks to its original composition, the Pontificis also has aroma and taste characteristics of both white Rhone and classic white Burgundy. This makes it versatile in culinary terms, but also very suitable for drinking on its own.
