2023 Hautes Côtes de Nuits Blanc, Domaine Guy & Yvan Dufouleur

This 2023 Hautes Côtes de Nuits Blanc is a Chardonnay from Bourgogne. It is made from 100% Chardonnay from high-altitude parcels in Hautes Côtes de Nuits, hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, fermented in steel tanks and partly in oak barrels, then aged on lees for 6 to 8 months. Minimal filtration is used to preserve purity and minerality. The nose shows citrus, white flowers, green apples and a hint of honey. The palate is fresh and mineral with notes of pear, lime and subtle oak. The mouthfeel is crisp, elegant and precise, with pure fruit and a long, chalky finish.
