Côte de Beaune 2023
That’s the great thing about this vintage - despite unstable weather conditions over the summer, the end result is stunning. The Chardonnay, Aligoté and Sauvignon grapes reached full maturity in perfect condition, while retaining enough freshness to live up to the reputation of Bourgogne white wines. A warm, sunny end to the season enabled the grapes to reach optimum ripeness, producing wines with intense aromas of ripe yellow fruit (such as peach and apricot), occasionally accented by notes of dried fruits and gentle spices. These wines are full-bodied and expansive, marked by undeniable freshness and impressive length on the palate. The 2023 vintage is sure to delight even the most discerning wine connoisseurs.
