Bourgogne Blanc, Domaine Philippe Colin 2021
Philippe Colin runs a 25-hectare estate in Chassagne-Montrachet, making this regional Bourgogne Blanc from younger vines and declassified fruit from his village sites. The 2021 vintage brings characteristic Burgundian restraint with citrus purity and mineral backbone that speaks clearly of place without the weight of barrel aging. We find this wine captures everything we love about well-made Burgundian Chardonnay at the entry level: clean fruit, precise acidity, and that distinctive chalky minerality that runs through the Côte de Beaune.
Bourgogne Cote d'Or Chardonnay 'Sécret de Famille', Albert Bichot 2022
Albert Bichot’s 2022 Bourgogne Côte d’Or Chardonnay Sécret de Famille is a great snapshot of what white Burgundy is all about without getting overly serious. It’s bright and fresh, with aromas of citrus, crisp apple, and a touch of white flowers, rounded out by a gentle hint of toast from oak. On the palate it’s smooth and balanced, with enough texture to feel satisfying but still plenty of lift and freshness. Easy to enjoy now, it’s a versatile bottle that works just as well on its own as it does with roast chicken, creamy pasta, or a plate of seafood. Renowned wine critic Neal Martin comments that Albert Bichot can make " really quite delicious, complex wines that often surprise people in blind tastings when not swayed by the label ." The 2022s are no exception and the Bichot portfolio is once again on cracking form. Features as one of the 'Top 15 Négociants & Cooperatives ' in Tim Atkin's Burgundy 2022 Special Report.
