The 2023 Domaine Xavier Monnot Bourgogne Blanc “Les Grandes Coutures” is a refined and terroir-driven white Burgundy that overdelivers in 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, freshness and precision. The nose is expressive and elegant, offering ripe citrus, green apple and pear layered with white flowers, subtle vanilla and a touch of toasted almond.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a silky, rounded texture supported by bright acidity. Flavours of orchard fruit, lemon zest and light creaminess are complemented by a mineral backbone, leading to a clean, balanced and gently persistent finish. The style is polished and slightly richer than typical Bourgogne Blanc, with a Meursault-like breadth while maintaining freshness and elegance.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Bourgogne Blanc that consistently punches above its level—ideal for customers looking for a more textural, refined white Burgundy without stepping into village Meursault pricing. Drink now or over the next 4–6 years. Perfect with seafood, roast chicken, creamy pasta or soft cheeses.
