The 2022 Domaine Xavier Monnot Bourgogne Blanc “Les Grandes Coutures” is a refined and terroir-driven white Burgundy that offers impressive depth and texture for a regional appellation. Sourced from parcels bordering Meursault with clay-rich soils, it reflects the domaine’s signature balance of richness, minerality and precision. The nose is expressive and inviting, showing white peach, citrus peel and lemon, layered with subtle notes of orchard fruit, toasted almond and light spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture and well-integrated oak. Flavours of ripe apple, lemon curd and gentle vanilla are supported by fresh acidity, leading to a balanced, polished and persistent finish. The style is slightly richer and more textural than typical Bourgogne Blanc, with a touch of Meursault-like breadth while maintaining freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Bourgogne Blanc that overdelivers in quality—ideal for customers looking for a richer, more structured entry-level Burgundy. It offers both immediate appeal and short-term aging potential. Drink now or over the next 4–6 years. Perfect with seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta or soft cheeses.
