Chantereves Les Blanches Fleurs, Beaune Premier Cru, France 2023

Chantereves is a small, boutique Burgundy winery founded by Guillaume Bott and Tomoko Kuriyama, focused on producing terroir-driven Pinot Noir with minimal intervention. The estate sources grapes from select vineyards in the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, emphasizing old vines, whole-cluster fermentation, ambient yeasts, and gentle aging in used barrels. Their wines are known for clarity, elegance, and purity, expressing the unique character of each site rather than oak or manipulation, and they consistently showcase a fresh, precise, and mineral-driven style that reflects the essence of Burgundy.

Les Blanches Fleurs, Beaune Premier Cru 2023 is an elegant and refined red Burgundy from one of Beaune’s prestigious climats. The wine displays aromas of red cherry, raspberry, rose petal, and subtle earthy spice, with hints of forest floor and mineral complexity. On the palate, it is silky and focused, with fine-grained tannins, bright acidity, and a long, precise finish. Balanced and expressive, Les Blanches Fleurs captures the finesse and purity typical of Chantereves, offering both immediate appeal and the structure to age gracefully over the next decade.
