From: Chataigners is a Bourgogne Blanc by classification, but with hilltops bending toward Meursault, it drinks far beyond what meets the eye. It’s an entry level style that sums up why Burgundy is all about its producers.
Critical Acclaim: The Bourgogne vines are tucked away at the end of the valley, so were picked later, on 5th September, finishing at 13.2%. A clear pale colour. The bouquet offers an immediate intensity with a crystalline character, a very pure white fruit in the mouth, concentrated apples, highly impressive for a ‘regional’ wine. Drink from 2025-2030. Tasted Nov 2024. 89 points out of 100.
