Description
The 2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc, Jardin du Calvaire, by Etienne Sauzet is a crisp, taut, and tense white with ripe green apple, bright lime notes, and an elegant floral character. Winemaker Benoît Riffault feels that the heat of the vintage helped with ripening; this is not a rigid or tart expression of the Hautes-Côtes. There is some grip and texture behind, though the crisp tang wins out. The finish is really fine, with mouth-watering acidity keeping the alcohol nicely in check. The wine was aged in foudres from François Frères.

Critics reviews
Foudres and 600 litre barrels.
Mid lemon yellow, with notable ripeness on the nose, even some bacon fat – picked later after the heat spurt had done its work. However very far from heavy or heated on the nose, with clean cut Hautes Côtes character dominating the middle before the return of a honeyed citrus note to finish.
Drink 2026 - 2028
The 2023 Hautes Côtes de Beaune Blanc Jardin du Calvert is made of the last fruit to be picked. Subtle wet pavement scents percolate through the malic fruit on the nose, although it's perhaps not quite as comely as the Bourgogne Blanc this year. The palate is well balanced with a crisp bead of acidity, fine complexity, light apricot and citrus peel notes with a harmonious finish. This is very fine for its class.
