The 2023 Pierre Labet Bourgogne Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes is an elegant and expressive white Burgundy crafted from old-vine Chardonnay, showcasing depth, balance and classic Côte de Beaune character. Sourced from limestone-rich soils near Beaune, it reflects a terroir-driven style with careful oak aging adding complexity. The nose is refined and aromatic, offering notes of ripe pear, citrus and white flowers, layered with hints of apricot, vanilla and light toasted almond.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and a smooth, rounded texture. Flavours of orchard fruit and citrus are complemented by subtle creaminess and a chalky mineral edge, leading to a long, fresh and elegant finish. The style is classic Burgundy - balanced, nuanced and quietly complex.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic entry into high-quality white Burgundy with added depth from old vines. It’s refined yet approachable, ideal for customers who enjoy elegant Chardonnay with a touch of richness but good freshness. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with seafood, roasted chicken or creamy pasta dishes.
