The 2021 Domaine Xavier Monnot Bourgogne Blanc “Les Grandes Coutures” is a refined and terroir-driven white Burgundy that offers impressive depth and precision for a regional appellation. Sourced from plots bordering Meursault, it reflects the domaine’s signature balance of richness, minerality and finesse. The nose is fresh and expressive, showing citrus, green apple and pear layered with white flowers and subtle hints of spice and toasted almond.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, rounded texture and bright, lively acidity. Flavours of orchard fruit, lemon zest and light buttery notes are supported by a mineral backbone, leading to a clean, saline and gently creamy finish. The style is polished and balanced, combining freshness with a touch of Meursault-like richness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent step up from entry-level Bourgogne Blanc—offering more texture and complexity while remaining approachable. Ideal for customers who enjoy classic white Burgundy with both freshness and subtle richness. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta or soft cheeses.
