Bourgogne Côte d'Or 2023, Domaine Rene Lequin-Colin

White Burgundy with Golden Roots: Chardonnay 2023 – Domaine Rene Lequin-Colin

Looking for a white Burgundy with richness and freshness – but without the price tag of a Premier Cru? This Chardonnay 2023 from Domaine Rene Lequin-Colin offers incredible value from the famed Côte d'Or. Grown just outside Puligny-Montrachet, this wine is buttery yet vibrant, with subtle oak, ripe citrus fruit, and a long, clean finish. 🍏🍋🧈

✨ Round, citrusy and finely textured
Aromatic layers of yellow apple, peach, and roasted lemon mingle with hints of lime, white flowers, toast, butterscotch, and soft vanilla. This isn’t a bold, oaky Chardonnay – it’s elegant, subtle and well-balanced.

On the palate: juicy citrus upfront, followed by a creamy mid-palate. The wine shows both volume and freshness, with soft acidity and a slightly waxy texture. The finish is saline and mineral, a nod to the chalky soils of its origin.
