✨ Technical Specifications
Averys of Bristol has a legendary history of sourcing exceptional wines directly from French growers, a tradition dating back to the late 18th century. Their Fine White Burgundy is a curated expression of classic Burgundian Chardonnay, selected to showcase the elegance and purity of the region. Traditionally sourced from trusted vineyards across Burgundy, often bridging the vibrant minerality of the Mâconnais with the rounder, more structured fruit of the Côte d'Or, this wine is crafted to offer an accessible yet sophisticated introduction to the region's white wines. It undergoes fermentation and aging in a mix of stainless steel and older oak barrels to preserve its fresh orchard fruit flavors, crisp acidity, and subtle, flinty minerality, embodying the historic merchant's commitment to quality and classic style.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in Bristol in 1793, Averys is one of the United Kingdom's oldest and most historic independent wine merchants and négociant houses. Throughout the twentieth century, under the visionary leadership of Ronald Avery and subsequently his son John Avery MW, the firm cemented an international reputation as an adventurous pioneer. Averys was among the very first British merchants to champion Bordeaux's Right Bank estates—introducing Château Pétrus to the UK market—and broke early ground importing nascent New World benchmarks from California and Australia. Operating as a négociant selector, Averys partners closely with family-owned domaines across classic European appellations including Champagne, Burgundy, the Loire, Pfalz, and Rioja. Across its diverse portfolio, the merchant prioritizes expressive varietal clarity, classic regional typicity, and balanced viticulture. Benchmark own-label releases like their Special Cuvée Brut Champagne, Fine White Burgundy, and Fine Riesling showcase Averys' enduring cellar heritage and palate for authentic terroir-driven wines.
