Domaine Bouchard Père & Fils Beaune du Château Blanc Beaune 1er Cru 2021

Here’s a beautiful example of what was possible with chardonnay in Burgundy in 2021: stunning aromatic complexity – flint, ripe lemon, fresh pineapple plus touches of mint and elderflower – is married to a very elegant medium-bodied palate with a wonderful silkiness. The long delicately chalky finish is precisely underlined by fine tannins. Already delicious! Sustainable. Drink or hold [through 2031+]. (jamessuckling.com,Sept. 1, 2023)
