About The Winery:
The fruit for the Domaine Borgeot Bourgogne Blanc is sourced from three parcels: two of which are in Chassagne, the third of which is in Puligny. In the vineyards, brothers Pascal and Laurent adopt an approach of 'lutte raisonnée', meaning that they will do everything in their power to adhere to the principles of organic farming and avoid the use of pesticides.
Vintage
2020 was a good, disease-free vintage, with warm and dry weather throughout late spring and summer. Harvest was slightly early, due to favourable conditions in August, and the Chardonnay was picked at optimal ripeness. The 2020s are close in style to 2019, with excellent balance, very good texture and structure.
Vinification
Grapes were all harvested by hand and underwent sorting to ensure that only the finest of fruit made it into the final wine. Throughout the vinification process, the brothers employed a combination of both traditional Burgundian techniques and modern winemaking practices with an emphasis on temperature control. 65% aged in barrels, including 20% new oak, to give additional weight and texture.
Tasting Note:
A seriously concentrated Bourgogne Blanc brimming with aromas of ripe lemon, stone fruit and a perfectly integrated toastiness from the oak. On the palate a bright acidity perfectly balances the intense flavours of citrus, stone fruit and toasted nuts and there is a subtle minerality on the lingering finish.
