🏰 The 2022 布根地 vintage is celebrated for its consistent quality across both red and white wines, despite unusual weather patterns. It was a record-breaker with more high-temperature days and sunshine, accompanied by less rainfall. A hot and dry summer was ultimately saved by significant rain in June, allowing the vines to withstand heat and drought, leading to ideal sanitary conditions and a modest yet concentrated vintage. The white wines from this vintage are a sheer delight, showing surprising freshness and elegance, with balanced ripeness. Chardonnay, in particular, fared better than Pinot Noir, with a larger crop and a later harvest, allowing for more hang time. The wines are aromatic, with citrus and ripe fruit mingling with delicate floral fragrances and spicy pastry notes. They are tender, fleshy, with pleasant roundness and a rich aftertaste, demonstrating excellent aging potential. This wine presents a pale yellow color with golden highlights. The nose offers slightly toasted citrus aromas. On the palate, it is tangy with bright citrus notes and vibrant acidity, recalling echoes of Meursault in a sleek framework. Flavors of lemon zest and white peach skin are present on a medium body, lifted by great acidity. It showcases gorgeous minerality and elegant flavors, accentuated by subtle oak barrel aging. The finish is long and dry, with a focus on lemon pith, white flowers, and damp stony earth. Some notes also mention green apple, zest, and soft wood influence, with beautifully textured, rich, and caressing yet punchy flavors and an appealing bead of minerality. 【From the excellent 2022 white 布根地 vintage, known for its surprising freshness, elegance, and aromatic intensity, offering a high-quality Chardonnay with great value.】 Saint-Romain is a village appellation in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, located at a high elevation, which results in a naturally cooler terroir and a longer ripening cycle, typically producing racy and vibrant Chardonnays. 🥂 A versatile white 布根地 perfect for aperitifs, casual lunches, or elegant dinners.
