Discover Bourgogne Tonnerre Les Boutots 2022 by Patrick Piuze, a rich and expressive Chardonnay from a south-facing single vineyard in Vaulicheres, just east of Chablis. Barrel fermentation of part of the harvest adds creaminess and depth to this vibrant white Burgundy, which reveals a fleshy core of ripe fruit and a persistent saline finish. Elegant yet generous, this cuvée perfectly reflects the harmony between the richness of ripe fruit and the freshness of its terroir.
