2023 Domaine Du Roc des Boutires, Bourgogne Blanc, Burgundy - 750ML

Domaine du Roc des Boutires is best known for its polished Chardonnay expressions from southern Burgundy, with this Bourgogne Blanc offering a fresh, accessible lens on the domaine’s style. The 2023 bottling is sourced from Chardonnay grown around Leynes and the northern slopes of Solutré, with 30-year-old vines noted by one merchant source; élevage is described as predominantly stainless steel with a small proportion aged in oak, preserving brightness and primary fruit.

Blend:
100% Chardonnay

Tasting Notes:
Lifted aromas of lemon zest, green apple, white peach, and fresh pear are framed by delicate white florals and a subtle hint of almond. The palate is clean and energetic, with citrus-driven fruit, a lightly creamy mid-palate, and a crisp mineral edge that carries through the finish.

Structure:
Fresh, precise, and medium-bodied; a bright, mineral Bourgogne Blanc with polished fruit and lively acidity.

Drink Window:
2025–2029

Decanting:
No formal decanting required. Serve well chilled but not cold, ideally after 10–15 minutes in the glass to allow the citrus, orchard fruit, and floral notes to open.

This is a refined white Burgundy for immediate enjoyment, well suited to seafood, roast chicken, fresh cheeses, or simply as an elegant aperitif. Its balance of freshness and subtle texture makes it an appealing bottle for Burgundy buyers seeking a polished Chardonnay without the weight or price point of higher-tier village appellations.
