2023 Domaine Borgeot Bourgogne Chardonnay

Domaine Borgeot’s 2023 Bourgogne Blanc is a classic, accessibly priced introduction to white Burgundy from a respected family estate. Capturing the freshness and clarity of the 2023 vintage, it offers a refined expression of Chardonnay that’s both vibrant and immediately inviting. This cuvée stands out for its balance between pure fruit, subtle minerality and a gentle touch of Burgundian richness, making it ideal for both everyday enjoyment and more elevated occasions.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2023 Domaine Borgeot Bourgogne Blanc shows a pale lemon color with bright, silvery highlights that hint at its youthful energy. The nose is elegant and precise, with aromas of lemon zest, green apple and pear, layered with white flowers, a whisper of fresh butter and a chalky, stony edge that clearly speaks of Burgundy’s limestone soils. On the palate, it is fresh and medium-bodied, with a clean, linear profile. Lively citrus and crisp orchard fruits are supported by a fine, saline minerality and a discreet touch of creaminess, likely from time on the lees. The finish is dry, refreshing and neatly defined, with enough texture to stand up to food without ever feeling heavy. Enjoy it now for its vivid fruit and lift, or cellar for 3–5 years to gain a bit more roundness and subtle complexity.

Production
Sourced from vineyards in Burgundy on predominantly limestone and clay-limestone soils, this Bourgogne Blanc benefits from the classic terroir that has made the region’s Chardonnay so renowned. The grapes are typically harvested by hand to ensure careful selection and preserve freshness, especially important in a youthful, terroir-driven white like this. Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled vessels (mostly stainless steel, with possible modest use of older barrels), allowing the pure fruit and mineral character to shine, followed by a period of aging on the fine lees to add a touch of creaminess and structure without overt oak influence.

Food & Serving
This 2023 Bourgogne Blanc is a versatile partner at the table, pairing beautifully with dishes such as shellfish, simply grilled white fish, roasted chicken, fresh goat cheese, sushi, or light vegetable risottos. Serve well-chilled but not ice-cold, ideally around 9–11°C (48–52°F), to let both the fruit and mineral notes express themselves. Decanting is not necessary, but pouring it into a larger white wine glass and giving it a few minutes in the glass will help the aromas open up.
