FEATURES
The Bastian Wolber Bourgogne Côte d'Or Blanc 2022, often referred to as 'Laisse Tomber', is a polished, low-intervention Chardonnay that beautifully reflects a modern, artisanal Burgundy style. 【It combines purity, texture, and minerality with precision and character, emphasizing terroir expression and finesse】. This cuvée holds the more selective Côte d'Or designation, indicating a stronger sense of place than a basic regional Bourgogne Blanc. Crafted with careful viticulture and minimal intervention, the wine is fermented with ambient yeasts and aged for 18-24 months in used oak barrels, with minimal SO2 added only before bottling.
It presents a pale gold color with a bright sheen. The nose offers white flowers, citrus peel, ripe pear, green apple, subtle hazelnut, and chalky mineral notes. On the palate, it is dry and focused, with fresh acidity, a rounded yet precise texture, and layered orchard fruit carried by a saline mineral thread. Reviewers also note an inviting reductive flinty hug, metallic coolness, zesty lemon, and a hint of earth, with a supple and flowing feel and a fine touch of tannic grip.
Ideal food pairings include roast chicken, seafood, shellfish, creamy pasta, grilled fish, delicate poultry dishes, aged cheese, and refined bistro cooking. Its acidity and texture also make it excellent with fried dishes and rich white-sauce pastas.
This wine is perfect for a sophisticated dinner party, a special occasion celebrating modern Burgundy, or as a thoughtful gift for a wine enthusiast who appreciates authentic, terroir-driven Chardonnay.
