Domaine Huguenot Bourgogne Côte d'Or Blanc

This is an organic white Burgundy from Domaine Huguenot, made from Chardonnay and labelled Bourgogne Côte d'Or. The grapes come from several parcels, mainly in Marsannay, with vines between 35 and 50 years old. The wine has been certified organic since the 2019 vintage. The fruit is picked by hand and sorted on arrival at the cellar. Fermentation is in tank with native yeasts. The wine then spends 10 months in 500-litre French oak and a further two months in tank. The nose shows acacia blossom, citrus and almonds. The palate is creamy and rounded, with white peach and apricot, then a crisp, slightly salty, mineral finish with hints of liquorice and vanilla.
