Côte Chalonnaise 2023

That’s the great thing about this vintage - despite unstable weather conditions over the summer, the end result is stunning. The Chardonnay grapes reached full maturity in perfect condition, while retaining enough freshness to live up to the reputation of Bourgogne white wines. The wines are highly aromatic, featuring fruit notes of pear, peach, and apricot complemented by pleasant floral hints of linden and acacia. The palate reveals a touch of dried fruits, balanced by a well-rounded freshness. Without a doubt, 2023 is an exceptional vintage for the whites of the Côte Chalonnaise.
