Bourgogne Blanc Les Riaux, 2024

From vines just below Puligny-Montrachet, one of the great white Burgundy villages, sold under a plain regional label. Nothing added, nothing filtered out.

Chardonnay from a single vineyard at the foot of the Puligny-Montrachet slope, made by Renaud Boyer in Meursault with nothing added. It smells of citrus, chamomile and yellow apple, with a faint nutty smokiness. The palate is smooth with real structure, lemony and mineral, and the finish is long and fresh. It carries a plain Bourgogne label but comes from serious ground.
