In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Pale lemon hue with bright citrus aromatics and a whisper of toast. The palate balances textural richness with refreshing acidity, underpinned by limestone minerality that serves as the wine's spine. This is restrained, precise Chardonnay—fruit-forward without pretence, with clarity that speaks to cool-climate Burgundy and careful oak handling.

The Winery — Domaine Borgeot

Run by fourth-generation brothers Laurent and Pascal since 1990, this 23-hectare estate sits in Rémigny within the Côte de Beaune, farming across four celebrated villages. The 2022 vintage—generous and dry—delivered excellent ripeness to the La Comme vineyard. Hand-harvested fruit underwent whole-bunch pressing and spent 11 months in French oak (a quarter new), building texture while preserving the natural clarity that defines premier cru Santenay. The Borgeots' signature lies in restraint balanced with liveliness.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is the white for steamed lobster, Dover sole, sautéed scallops, and chicken with lemon—the lifted acidity carries through cream sauces without wavering. Its textural finesse suits poultry, oily fish, and pasta dishes equally well. Chill and enjoy now through 2027. Whether you're planning an intimate date night or searching for a refined gift, this wine sits comfortably alongside our broader Whites with Oak selection, yet maintains the mineral finesse that distinguishes premier cru expressions.
