Highlights
Domaine Borgeot Chassagne Montrachet Vieilles Vignes 2023
The Vieilles Vignes has huge complexity on the nose, with citrus, herbs and a dusty mineral note. On the palate, good acidity balances the richness of the body, and there is a touch of zest on the long and smooth finish.
Domaine Borgeot, in Rémigny, was founded in 1903 and is now run by brothers Laurent and Pascal Borgeot, the fourth generation of their family to manage this domaine. As the saying goes in Burgundy, if you look at the person behind the wines, you will get an idea of the style in your glass. This could not be truer for Domaine Borgeot, whose wines exhibit the calm and measured restraint of Pascal, balanced with the exuberance and liveliness of Laurent.
The estate comprises 24 hectares of sustainably farmed vineyards in Bouzeron, Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. Domaine Borgeot’s wines are fermented in a combination of temperature-controlled, stainless-steel vats and oak barrels, creating complexity while retaining primary fruit aromas. The Bourgogne Blanc Côte d'Or is a blend of three parcels, two in Chassagne-Montrachet and the third in Puligny-Montrachet. The wine is fermented in stainless steel before ageing in oak barrels, 15% of which is new. The brothers use 20-25% new oak for the ‘villages’ wines and 33% for the 1er Crus to lend additional weight and complexity.
