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.
Viré-Clessé Vieilles Vignes, Meurgey-Croses 2023
"This single-vineyard wine from old vines (65-95 years) offers salinity and minerality, with fresh lime and pithy citrus on the palate. Fermented in large barrels with no new oak, it’s a precise, well-balanced wine with a sapid finish." Our note Pierre Meurgey is a rising star in Burgundy, blending tradition with modern techniques to craft precise and terroir-driven wines. His focus is on showcasing the nuanced characteristics of each appellation, from the Mâconnais to the Côte de Beaune. The 2023 vintage was particularly noteworthy, beginning with uncertainty due to a sudden heatwave in early September. Thanks to early harvesting, Pierre achieved balanced ripeness and avoided overripeness, producing wines with finesse, vibrant fruit, and excellent ageing potential. Both reds and whites are approachable young yet structured.
