Domaine Borgeot, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jean Blanc 2022 75cl

Want a white Burgundy that feels generous but never heavy? This dry 2022 Chardonnay comes from Clos Saint-Jean, a Premier Cru vineyard in Chassagne-Montrachet, within Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It brings ripe orchard fruit, citrusy freshness and a mineral edge together, giving you richness without losing energy. Serious enough for collectors, friendly enough for your first step into Premier Cru Burgundy.

• Appearance: Pale gold with bright highlights.
• Nose: Ripe pear, lemon curd, white flowers and toasted hazelnut.
• Palate: Orchard fruit and citrus, lifted by bright acidity and chalky freshness.
• Body: Medium to full, rounded yet energetic.
• Finish: Long and mineral, with lingering lemon peel and gentle nuttiness.

Pour it lightly chilled for a long lunch, a proper dinner, or an impressive bottle that doesn’t require a wine lecture.

Try it with roast chicken, buttery turbot, seared scallops or creamy mushroom pasta.

If village-level Chassagne-Montrachet already has your attention, this Premier Cru shows what a more distinctive vineyard site can add.

Fun Fact: Burgundy’s individual vineyard parcels are called climats. The Côte de Beaune’s centuries-old patchwork of climats became UNESCO-listed in 2015.
