Chantal Lescure Cotes de Beaune Blanc Clos des Topes Bizot 2021

Chantal Lescure Côtes de Beaune Blanc Clos des Topes Bizot 2021 is a refined white Burgundy that captures the finesse and energy of a top hillside site in the Côte de Beaune. This single-vineyard wine combines precision, minerality and understated richness, making it a compelling choice for Burgundy lovers who value both purity and depth. From a domaine known for its meticulous, low-intervention approach, this cuvée reflects the character of the 2021 vintage: fresh, vibrant and beautifully detailed.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Clos des Topes Bizot 2021 shows a pale lemon to light gold hue with a delicate brightness that hints at its tension and youth. The nose opens with citrus and orchard fruit—think lemon zest, green apple and pear—layered with white flowers, a touch of chalky stone, and subtle notes of fresh butter, hazelnut and a light, well-judged oak spice. On the palate, the wine is precise and medium-bodied, with a lively acidity that frames its creamy texture. Flavors of crisp apple, lemon curd and ripe pear are joined by hints of almond, brioche and wet stone, leading into a long, saline finish that feels both mouthwatering and persistent. The oak is finely integrated, supporting the fruit rather than dominating it. Enjoyable now with a brief aeration, this 2021 has the structure and acidity to evolve gracefully for 5–8 years from vintage, gaining more nuttiness and complexity with time.

Production
Clos des Topes Bizot is a well-situated, walled parcel in the Côtes de Beaune, with limestone-rich soils and clay that naturally limit yields and enhance mineral expression. The vines here benefit from good exposure and excellent drainage, concentrating flavor while preserving acidity—ideal conditions for white Burgundy. At Domaine Chantal Lescure, the grapes are harvested by hand at optimal ripeness, with careful sorting in the vineyard and cellar to keep only perfectly healthy bunches. Fermentation typically takes place with indigenous yeasts in Burgundy barrels, followed by élevage on fine lees to build texture and complexity, with a discreet use of new oak so the terroir remains at the forefront. The result is a wine that speaks clearly of its site, crafted through minimal intervention and attentive cellar work.

Food & Serving
This Côtes de Beaune Blanc pairs beautifully with refined seafood dishes such as seared scallops, poached sole, turbot with beurre blanc, or simple grilled fish with herbs. It is equally at home alongside roasted chicken, veal in a light cream sauce, or a buttery lobster pasta. For cheese, try it with young Comté, aged Gruyère, goat cheese or a mild triple-cream. Serve at 10–12°C (50–54°F) to highlight its freshness and aromatics; if too cold, the wine’s texture and nuance will be muted. Young bottles benefit from 20–30 minutes in the glass or a small carafe to open up, while more mature examples can be gently decanted if sediment is present.
