2022 Ballot-Millot Bourgogne Chardonnay

A green tint to the lemon yellow colour. The nose shows sunshine but with a fresh greengage fruit in the midst, suggests plenty of body. On the palate, the energy is certainly there, while the fruit is on the softer side but with considerable concentration. To bottle in November, the rest in late January. Drink from 2025-2026. 86-88 points

The 2022 Bourgogne Chardonnay is a blend of parcels, 70% in Meursault and 30% in Puligny, with a majority purchased grapes and juice. It has a fresh, vibrant bouquet with citrus fruit and crushed stone - very well-defined. The palate is well-balanced with a slightly creamy texture thanks to the 20% new oak (a little higher than usual), offering touches of chamomile on the finish. Fine. NB This cuvée is bottled under Diam. 87 points
