Clair Obscur, Bourgogne Blanc 'Le Chat Blanc' 2023
Place: Burgundy, France
Grape: Chardonnay
Vibe: Natural, textural
Someone needs to stop me buying Burgundy. It’s a problem, good for you, but not for our shelves. From their 40-year-old vineyard in Corpeau, farmed biodynamically. Fruit gets a gentle whole-cluster pressing, ferments in old barrel and sits there for around a year. There’s some texture but this falls more into a tense, mineral expression. It’s long and salivating and just an incredible, well-put-together bottle of White Burg. Tastes like 1er. A producer you need on the radar. ABV: 12.5%
