2021 Bourgogne Blanc, Camille Giroud

Description

This is a blend of generic wine from Chassagne-Montrachet, with larger additions from Mercurey and the Hautes Côtes de Beaune and a return of some Mâconnais for the first time since 2018, although the Meursault element has dropped out this year. There is a fatter texture to complement the slight citrus edge of the higher vineyards. It’s precise as ever.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 16/20

Tank sample

It's edgy and quite exciting. And an awfully good price! There is no lack of fruit intensity—just a lack of a famous domaine name … Good value.

The 2021 Bourgogne Blanc does not quite have the charm of its Aligoté counterpart on the nose. The palate is well balanced with pear and apricot fruit, quite sapid, with fine weight on the finish and good length. If the aromatics improve by the time of bottling, it will deserve a higher score.

Racked to tank, still on fine lees. Fine mid yellow. Decent volumes here. Some elegance in the perfume, and a rounder feel thanks to the inclusion of some Mâconnais juice. Correct tension, a nicely made middleweight Bourgogne.

Here, too, there is an abundance of citrus and green apple elements, along with a floral top note. The racy and equally dense medium-weight flavours possess excellent delineation on the lingering, balanced, and very dry finale. This isn't quite as complex, but it is also very good for what it is and equally recommended.

About this wine

Bourgogne

Bourgogne

In the Burgundy hierarchy, “Bourgogne” denotes the entry level of the classification system. This is a so-called “regional” appellation, theoretically covering the entire vineyard area of Burgundy. This is distinct from the more geographically precise village-level, Premier Cru and Grand Cru designations. The two most common Bourgogne-level wines are Bourgogne Blanc (“White Burgundy”) and Bourgogne Rouge (“Red Burgundy”).
