Henri Germain Bourgogne Blanc Cote d'Or 2022

The Bourgogne Côte d’Or appellation distinguishes wines grown in the Côte d’Or from other parts of Burgundy. Specifically, this comes from around a hectare of vines spread over four Meursault and Chassagne terroirs, including, in Meursault: Les Belles Côtes (just below Les Chevalières), Au Jardin, Petit Clos (a true clos, right next to the winery in the centre of Meursault) and a fourth parcel of Chassagne that came online with the 2016 vintage. Once again, this is a super example of Bourgogne, with excellent depth and character for its level.Importer’s note.

“Bright and fleshy, the 2022 Bourgogne Côte d'Or offers up aromas of pear, yellow orchard fruit, white flowers and almond paste, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny palate with excellent concentration and cut.” 88-90 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

“The 2022 Bourgogne Blanc Côte d'Or is matured entirely in barrel for 12 months and four months in vat. It has a well-defined bouquet with apple blossom, quince and touches of forest floor. The palate is well-balanced with ample concentration, tropical notes of Satsuma and pineapple, and a dash of spice on the finish. Delicious!” 88-90 points, Neal Martin, Vinous
