Bourgogne Chitry, Vieilles Vignes D'aimé Blanc 2022, E. Chalmeau

Chablis finesse with a Burgundian twist: Chitry Vieilles Vignes D’Aimé 2022 – Domaine Edmond Chalmeau

Looking for a white Burgundy with the tension of Chablis but a softer touch? This Vieilles Vignes D’Aimé 2022 from Chitry is a northern gem. Made from 65-year-old vines and aged in both stainless steel and oak, this wine bursts with citrus, sea-salted butter and mineral energy. A refined thirst-quencher for connoisseurs. 🍋🧈🌼

✨ Salty, citrusy and subtly buttery
On the nose: hawthorn blossom, honeysuckle and bergamot, layered with candied lemon and white and yellow fruit. Light floral hints, a touch of fresh butter and flinty minerality complete the bouquet. The proximity to Chablis clearly shows through.

On the palate, the wine is fresh, energetic and juicy. The texture is elegant and vibrant, with bright citrus, soft saltiness and a chalky backbone. The finish is long, clean and satisfying. Think Chablis – but friendlier and rounder.

A white Burgundy with clarity and character.
