The 2023 Bachelet-Monnot Bourgogne Blanc Côte d'Or is a beautifully precise and mineral-driven Chardonnay from one of Burgundy’s most respected modern domaines. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the Côte d’Or, the wine reflects the domaine’s restrained and terroir-focused style, favouring freshness, purity and texture over overt oak influence. The nose reveals lemon zest, green apple and white peach layered alongside white flowers, wet stone and delicate hazelnut notes, giving the wine impressive lift and clarity.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant natural acidity, silky texture and a finely detailed mineral core. Layers of citrus and orchard fruit are balanced by subtle lees complexity and saline freshness, finishing crisp, energetic and beautifully persistent with excellent balance and finesse. Careful élevage in older oak barrels adds gentle texture without overshadowing the wine’s freshness and vineyard transparency.
