How to serve it
Tasting notes
Golden-yellow colour. A rich nose of baked apple, butter, toasted almond and vanilla with a honeyed hint of maturity. Full and creamy on the palate, with hazelnut texture from the barrel fermentation, lively acidity and a long, toasty finish.
About this wine
6IX is the barrel-fermented Chardonnay of Chateau Copsa, the winery from the Rose Valley near Karlovo. Fermenting Chardonnay in barrel is the method Burgundy has used for centuries: it gives the grape texture, hazelnut and a soft vanilla note in place of pure citrus.
The 2020 vintage has already begun to develop its mature profile: baked apple, butter and toasted almond over lively acidity. It is a rich, serious Bulgarian white that can stand next to its French models.
Serve at 10–12 °C with oven-baked fish, white meat in cream sauce or mushroom risotto.
