2021 Domaine de Montille Bourgogne Blanc - Chardonnay, France (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES: 

The nose opens with aromas of lemon zest, green apple, pear, and white peach, supported by notes of citrus blossom, crushed stone, and fresh hazelnut. Subtle hints of brioche and cream emerge with aeration but remain firmly in the background. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and focused, driven by bright acidity and a distinct mineral backbone. Flavors of citrus, orchard fruit, and preserved lemon unfold across a finely textured framework that balances freshness with moderate richness. The limestone influence typical of Burgundy is evident throughout, lending both tension and precision to the wine. The finish is clean, persistent, and saline, with lingering citrus and chalky mineral notes. The overall profile reflects the strengths of the 2021 vintage, emphasizing purity, energy, and elegance rather than power.
