Bourgogne blanc AOC 2022

Wine Description for Bourgogne Blanc AOC 2022 by Henri & Gilles Buisson

Colour & Appearance

Luminous, quite intense straw yellow in the glass – a promising first impression.

Nose

An inviting opening with white flower aromas and white-fleshed fruits, where pear takes the lead. These are joined by a hint of pineapple, grapefruit zest and subtle vanilla notes. A slight reduction lends the wine additional complexity – typical of artisanally crafted Burgundy.

Palate

Fresh and juicy, this Bourgogne Blanc presents itself on the palate. The lively acidity and citric notes form the backbone, whilst the white-fleshed fruits unfold elegantly. A subtle oak note integrates harmoniously, never dominating. The acidity remains pleasantly present through to the finish, lending the wine tension and drinking flow.

Finish

Medium-length finish with lingering freshness and fine citrus notes that invite the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come primarily from unclassified parcels at the summit of the Saint-Romain hillside with vines of approximately 40 years old. This is complemented by fruit from organically certified fellow winemakers in Pouilly-Fuissé – a clever assemblage that unites the best from different terroirs.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Chardonnay, half destemmed before pressing. Maturation took place over ten to twelve months in a thoughtfully composed blend of barriques (228, 350 and 500 litres), tonneaux, WineGlobes and concrete eggs – maximum 10% new wood. Daily tastings determined the timing of racking. Bentonite fining, light filtration only, minimal sulphur use (40-50 mg/l total SO₂) at bottling. Crafted with artisanal precision.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Excellent with Chicken Pot Pie, roasted cauliflower steaks with paprika flakes and mozzarella or miso-honey chicken with rice and green asparagus.

Special Features

A fine introduction to the portfolio of Henri & Gilles Buisson, proving that even a simple Bourgogne Blanc can delight with careful work in vineyard and cellar. Organically certified and with just 12.5% alcohol, pleasantly inviting to drink.
