The 2023 Chanterêves Bourgogne Blanc is a vibrant Chardonnay that reflects the fresh, terroir-driven style of this respected micro-négociant in Savigny-lès-Beaune. Sourced from organically farmed vineyards on limestone-rich soils and made with minimal intervention, it offers excellent purity and balance. The nose is lifted with aromas of white peach, pear and citrus, complemented by hints of white flowers, chalky minerality and subtle toasted nuts.
On the palate, it is crisp and beautifully textured, with bright natural acidity supporting flavours of lemon, orchard fruit and delicate stone fruit. Gentle lees ageing in seasoned oak adds texture without masking the wine's freshness, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish with impressive precision.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent introduction to the elegant, minimal-intervention style of Chanterêves. Pair with grilled prawns, oysters, roast chicken, creamy mushroom pasta or soft goat's cheese. Enjoy now for its freshness or cellar for the next 5–8 years as it gains additional complexity.
