Fabien Coche Bourgogne Côte d'Or Chardonnay 2022 guy-yvan-dufouleur There’s a core of sweetComing from 7 parcels of beautifully situated vines owned by the estate all within Meursault just below the village. This wine is whole bunch pressed then raised in 350 litre barrels (only 5% new) then moved back to stainless steel for 6 months in tank and bottled with no fining or filtration in January after a total of 15 months on lees. This is clearly not an average Bourgogne blanc with weight texture and character way above its humble appellation
