Bourgogne blanc AOC 2023

Wine description for Bourgogne blanc AOC 2023 by Trapet Père & Fils

Colour & Appearance

Pale straw yellow with a silvery shimmer at the rim – a classic appearance for young Burgundy Chardonnay, promising freshness and vibrancy.

Nose

Youthfully exuberant and inviting: yellow apple, peach and apricot dominate, underpinned by brioche and green almond. A subtle floral accent in the top notes lends additional finesse to the bouquet. The yeast notes point to careful cellar work without being intrusive – a wine that brings immediate pleasure.

Palate

Here Trapet’s philosophy shines through in pure form: light-footed, juicy and refreshingly uncomplicated. The wine flows with elegant grace across the palate, the fruit remains present but never heavy, defined by a fine, slightly austere structure. At 12.5% alcohol perfectly balanced – a Burgundy that doesn’t demand attention, but charmingly accompanies.

Finish

Medium-length and refreshing, with lingering fruit and a subtle minerality that recalls the pebbles of the Marsannay vineyard sites.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from two parcels in Marsannay („En Auvonne“ and „En Varangée“), thriving on well-drained, chalky-clay soils with fine pebbles. Optimal exposure ensures physiological ripeness at moderate alcohol levels – typical of the cooler climate in northern Burgundy.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Chardonnay, vinified in the classic Burgundian style. The subtle yeast notes hint at bâtonnage, without oak overwhelming the fruit – a purist approach that gives terroir pride of place.

Food Pairing Recommendations

The perfect everyday companion: pan-fried white fish, scallops, goat’s cheese, poultry salad or simply oysters. Also an excellent choice with asparagus with hollandaise sauce or herb risotto.
