In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Concentrated yet fresh, with ripe lemon and stone fruit leading, then a toast-and-butter warmth. This village-level Burgundy delivers brightness and mineral spine married to a fuller body than you'd expect at this level. The 2022 vintage brought vibrant aromatics and acidity in perfect balance across the Côte de Beaune.

The Winery — Domaine Borgeot

Now in their fourth generation, brothers Laurent and Pascal Borgeot run this Rémigny-based domaine across 23 hectares spanning Bouzeron, Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. Their contrasting temperaments—Pascal's calm restraint balanced against Laurent's exuberance—shape wines of understated power. The domaine practises low-intervention farming and handles grapes with precision: hand-harvested, sorted, temperature-controlled fermentation, and ageing in barrel including some new oak for weight and texture. The 2022 shows their philosophy clearly: fruit treated carefully to reveal concentration without sacrificing freshness.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, baked fish, butter and cream sauces, shellfish, mushroom dishes, and oily fish. The discipline you find across France's greatest white wine regions makes it equally at home on a Sunday lunch table or a date night. Approachable yet genuinely deep, this village wine drinks now and will hold beautifully for another three to four years. If you're exploring Chardonnay beyond the obvious or rediscovering what classic Burgundy tastes like when made with restraint and care, this is where to begin.
