From the esteemed cellars of Paul Jouard, one of Chassagne-Montrachet’s most respected traditionalists, comes this beautifully crafted 2023 Bourgogne Chardonnay—a wine that offers a true taste of classic white Burgundy at an accessible level. Sourced from parcels just outside the village appellations of the Côte de Beaune, this wine is a testament to Jouard’s commitment to detail, terroir, and balance, even in his regional bottlings.

The 2023 vintage in Burgundy brought excellent ripeness with fresh acidities, and this wine reflects that harmony. In the glass, it displays a pale gold color with brilliant clarity. Aromatically, it’s inviting and pure, with notes of lemon zest, white peach, green apple, and subtle floral tones. Hints of hazelnut and chalky minerality add depth, with a delicate touch of oak lending roundness and finesse without overwhelming the fruit.

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and finely textured, delivering clean, precise flavors that echo the nose. There’s a beautiful interplay between freshness and soft creaminess, with a long, gently tapered finish marked by citrus and stone. It’s a wine that feels both elegant and refreshingly uncomplicated—made with the same traditional techniques Paul Jouard applies to his more prestigious crus.

Perfect for fans of classic white Burgundy who seek value and authenticity, this Bourgogne Chardonnay shines with a wide range of dishes: roast chicken, grilled fish, vegetable tarts, or soft cheeses like Brie or Comté.

Paul Jouard’s 2023 Bourgogne Chardonnay is a standout in its category—thoughtfully made, terroir-reflective, and a delicious way to experience the soul of Burgundy without breaking the bank.
