2023 Domaine Pascal & Laurent Borgeot Bourgogne Blanc 'Clos de la Carbonade'

100% organic Chardonnay from a small monopole vineyard in Bouzeron, the northernmost village of the Côte Chalonnaise.  Gorgeous notes of lemon curd, spiced apple, pear skin, honeysuckle, and mineral inform the nose and palate of this medium bodied white Burg that drinks well above its price point.  Don’t look for oak and buttered toast here! Borgeot wines are floral and lemony in their youth, with spice and honey-drops as they develop.  Acidity is brisk but perfectly balanced. Domaine Borgeot, in Rémigny, was founded in 1903 and is now run by brothers Laurent and Pascal Borgeot, the fourth generation of their family to manage the 48 acre estate. Their reputation locally is such that more-famous producers often send their children to apprentice at the domain.
