This Coteaux Bourguignons Chardonnay brings energy and richness in equal measure. Passionfruit, honeysuckle, lemon and flint all swirl together in a wine that feels both generous and finely tuned. Made from 40-year-old vines in “En Malpertuis,” it’s a wine of texture, balance, and unexpected length.
The Plot
From the village of Couchey, just north of Fixin. Reds grow higher up, whites lower down—in richer, loamier soils with limestone underneath.
