Domaine du Chancelier Cote de Beaune 'Les Monsnieres', Burgundy, France 2021

Côte de Beaune “Les Monsnières” 2021 — A beautiful, under-the-radar white Burgundy from Elsa & Cédric Ehrhart’s small domaine in Beaune. Made from Chardonnay and showing the freshness and precision of the excellent 2021 vintage, this is elegant and mineral-driven, with bright citrus, orchard fruit, subtle floral notes, and a refined touch of French oak. A serious Côte de Beaune with plenty of character and far less name recognition than its more famous neighbors. Exactly the kind of Burgundy that rewards those willing to look beyond the usual labels.
