This is an absolute must-have for Chardonnay purists!
Domaine Boyer-Martenot’s Côte d'Or Bourgogne Blanc is sourced entirely from estate Meursault vineyards boasting 50 to 70+ year-old vines. Frequently called their definitive "Baby Meursault," it’s an amazing value when new 2023 village and Cru Meursault releases run $100 to $250.
The fruit comes from three prized plots on the Meursault plains: Sous la Velle, Les Pellans, and Les Grandes Coutures. This vine age is practically unheard of for Bourgogne Blanc, yielding an old-vine concentration and chiseled complexity that punches far above its regional tier.
The palate delivers a mouthwatering core of preserved lemon, white peach, and green apple, framed by chalky minerality and roasted hazelnut. Because Vincent utilizes older French oak followed by eight months in concrete eggs, the focus remains squarely on pristine fruit and chiseled definition.
It offers bona fide Meursault DNA minus the triple-digit price tag—making it the ultimate luxury everyday drinker to enjoy while your heavy-hitter investment crus rest and develop gracefully over the next 5 to 15 years.
Santé!
