The 2022 Pierre Labet Bourgogne Chardonnay Vieilles Vignes is a refined white Burgundy crafted from old-vine Chardonnay, showcasing the purity and balance of the region’s classic style. Sourced from vineyards near Beaune, it reflects the influence of limestone-rich soils, which contribute to freshness and minerality. The nose is elegant and expressive, offering notes of ripe pear, citrus and white flowers, layered with subtle hints of butter, almond and light oak.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with bright acidity and a smooth, rounded texture. Orchard fruit and citrus flavours are balanced by a gentle creaminess and mineral edge, leading to a clean, fresh and harmonious finish. The style is classic Burgundy - balanced, nuanced and highly drinkable.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great entry into quality white Burgundy, offering old-vine depth with an approachable, polished style. Perfect for customers who enjoy Chablis or elegant Chardonnay without excessive oak. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Ideal with roasted chicken, seafood or creamy pasta dishes.
