In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Dust and citrus greet you first, with herbaceous snap that speaks to the cool, clay-rich soils where these old vines grow. The palate shows good acidity cutting through a richly textured body, delivering a long, clean finish touched with zest. This is Chardonnay built for the table: no oak swagger, no fluff, just clarity and mineral purpose.

The Winery — Domaine Borgeot

Now in its fourth generation under brothers Laurent and Pascal, Domaine Borgeot commands 23 hectares across Chassagne-Montrachet and neighbouring villages. The 2024 vintage tested them: endless rain, minimal sunshine, relentless mildew pressure. Their careful stewardship through late summer delivered grapes with uncommon concentration and balance. Hand-harvested fruit was destemmed and chilled before fermentation in open vats; 11 months in French oak (mostly older barrels) rounded the structure without overwhelming the wine's mineral spine. At 13% ABV, the result tastes like hard-won success.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

The vineyard's deep clay drains beautifully despite the vintage's moisture, and that drainage shows in every sip: no bloat, no heaviness, just balanced ripeness. Roasted chicken, butter-poached fish, soft cheeses like Brie, mushrooms and shellfish in cream sauce — these are the wine's natural home. Serve at 10–12°C. Whether you're building a cellar or gifting to someone serious about Burgundy beyond the famous names, this is a wine worth tasting.
