Borgeot Bourgogne Blanc 2022 750ml

Borgeot Bourgogne Blanc 2022 is a white Burgundy Chardonnay from Domaine Borgeot (run by brothers Pascal and Laurent Borgeot), based in the Santenay area of southern Burgundy, France. This domaine is known for producing high-quality, value-driven wines, often punching above their appellation level, with a focus on precise, mineral-driven Chardonnays influenced by nearby prestigious areas like Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault.

Key Details

• Vintage: 2022 (a strong year in Burgundy for whites, with good ripeness balanced by freshness and acidity).
• Appellation: Bourgogne Blanc (regional level, but often overperforms due to the producers' skill).
• Grape: 100% Chardonnay.
• Average Price: Around $25–$35 USD per bottle (ex-tax), making it an excellent value for white Burgundy—many reviewers note it drinks like wines costing twice as much.
• Style: Fresh, concentrated, and balanced, with oak influence that's well-integrated rather than dominant.

Tasting Notes (Compiled from Reviews)

This wine typically shows:

• Aromas/Nose: Ripe lemon, citrus zest, stone fruit (like white peach or pear), green apple, hints of white flowers, wet stone/minerality, and subtle toasted oak, vanilla, or nuts.
• Palate: Bright acidity for freshness and lift, medium body with richness and depth, flavors of citrus, stone fruit, toasted nuts, and a chalky/mineral edge. It often has a creamy texture with leesy touches, good concentration, and a lingering finish.
• Overall Impressions: Clean, precise, vibrant, and mineral-driven—very much in the classic Burgundy white style. Reviewers frequently praise its surprising quality for the price, calling it "stunning," "rich with depth and minerality," and something that could blind-taste as a higher-tier wine (e.g., like a $50+ bottle).
