Domaine Guillemard-Clerc Bourgogne Blanc Côte d'Or 2023

Domaine Guillemard-Clerc Bourgogne Blanc Côte d’Or 2023 is a fine example of the rising quality in Bourgogne Côte d’Or, where carefully selected parcels around Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet deliver white wines with clear terroir expression and a touch more ambition than classic regional Bourgogne. Based in Puligny, Guillemard-Clerc works with a gentle, hands-on approach in both vineyard and cellar, treating this Bourgogne Blanc with the same care as its more prestigious cuvées.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a bright, pale golden color. The nose opens with citrus, green apple, white flowers, and a subtle hint of toasted nuts. The palate is lively and precise, with crisp acidity, clean fruit, and a discreet mineral edge that brings definition and length. It feels refined and expressive, offering a sense of Côte de Beaune class, and while it is enjoyable now, it also has the structure to develop gracefully over the next few years.

Production
The grapes come from chalk- and clay-rich parcels close to the village borders of Puligny, giving the wine its distinct regional character and underlying mineral framework. The 2023 vintage benefited from ideal ripening conditions, combining sunshine with freshness to preserve both richness and aromatic lift. After hand harvesting, the grapes were gently pressed and fermented in oak barrels, with only a small proportion of new wood, then aged sur lie for 8–10 months with limited bâtonnage to retain freshness and structure.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay is an excellent partner for shellfish, grilled fish, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, and soft cheeses such as Brie or young Comté. Serve it chilled at around 10–12°C, and decanting is not necessary unless you wish to give it a little extra air for more immediate openness.

Producer
Domaine Guillemard-Clerc is a Puligny-based estate known for its careful, restrained winemaking and its ability to express the character of some of Burgundy’s most respected vineyard areas. While details on the domaine’s history and accolades are limited here, its approach reflects the craftsmanship and precision associated with producers in the Côte de Beaune, particularly in and around Puligny-Montrachet.
