2020/23 Bourgogne Blanc, Closerie Berthereau, La Meulière

Grapes and Vinification  

The 2020 vintage from Closerie Berthereau is a textbook example of Bourgogne Blanc – classic Chardonnay with ripe fruit and a light touch of oak.

• Chardonnay – known for its finesse, structure, and fruity elegance
• Harvested from vineyards around the Meursault and Puligny area
• Partially vinified in oak to add complexity and roundness without overpowering the freshness

Terroir and Origin

Soil: Limestone and marl-rich soil – imparts the wine's classic minerality and tension

• Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and silky-smooth with precise acidity and a long, mineral finish
