White Burgundy
Some of the greatest white wines on Earth are produced along the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy. With such high demand for relatively small production, these remain the stuff of special occasions. But there is more to white Burgundy than grand Montrachets and Meursaults, with many more affordable offerings coming from Chablis in the north, the Mâconnais in the south and the Côte Chalonnaise in between. Even the fabled Côte d’Or can be persuaded to offer up some everyday value to the canny buyer.

L&S2022 CHABLIS Domaine Adhémar et Francis Boudin
Chablis Burgundy France 12.5% White

Dusty/mineral and fragrant citrus. Surprisingly full on the palate, still that stony-mineral dry effect but also a roundness that softens the finish. Tightly wound for now.

After tasting Pierrick's Petit Chablis - this is a delicious 'step-up'. Much fresher feel, and so much brighter. The wines here can be generous and charming but never far from that dream of mineral driven Chablis - in 20...(read more)
