Tasted from a sample taken just before bottling this week. Three plots in Chassagne, Puligny and St-Aubin. Pale lemon colour. A little touch of reduction but with energy in the fruit behind. The St-Aubin component adds the electric fresh backbone, while the other two give a little more body. A thrilling example of Bourgogne Blanc from vineyards close to village appellations. Drink from 2024-2027. 5* 89-91 points

The 2022 Bourgogne Chardonnay comes from three parcels in Puligny and Saint-Aubin, the latter of which Damien Colin feels imparts freshness into the cuvee. There is decent intensity on the nose that seems to have a bit of reduction at the moment - it just needs time, of course. The palate is well-balanced with a crisp line of acidity and yellow plum mixed with tangerine with a bright, sapid lime cordial finish. Fine. 85-87 points

Aromas of pear, white flowers and buttery pastry introduce the 2022 Bourgogne Chardonnay, a medium-bodied, pure and racy wine that blends fruit from the communes of Chassagne, Puligny and Saint-Aubin. 89 points
