Description

A fresh and charming Bourgogne Chardonnay, Domaine de la Monette 2024 reflects the cooler, more classical character of the vintage, favouring vibrancy and precision over weight. Pale lemon-gold in the glass, it offers an inviting nose of green apple, pear and lemon zest, with delicate hints of white blossom, hazelnut and a subtle chalky, flinty note. The palate is bright and elegant, with crisp orchard fruit and citrus balanced by a gently rounded texture, while lively acidity and a saline mineral streak carry through to a clean, refreshing finish. Delicious now for its purity and zip, it makes a versatile table white, pairing beautifully with roast chicken, grilled fish, creamy pasta or soft cheeses such as Brie and Chaource.

Domaine de la Monette

Tucked away in Mercurey in Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise, Domaine de la Monette is a 12.5-hectare estate known for its pure, expressive wines and steadfast commitment to organic farming. Revived in 2007 by Dutch couple Roelof and Marlon Ligtmans and certified organic by 2013, the domaine entered a new era in 2022 under Pierre-Etienne Chevallier, formerly of La Vougeraie and Cellier aux Moines. He continues the organic ethos while expanding into Givry, Rully, and Bouzeron. With Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Aligoté and a touch of Gamay, the wines are praised for their balance, clarity, and strong sense of place—most notably the 2023 Bourgogne Chardonnay, which has drawn comparisons to the likes of Saint-Romain and Saint-Aubin. Domaine de la Monette remains a shining example of sustainable, forward-thinking Burgundy winemaking.

Burgundy

Burgundy, located in eastern France, is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions, celebrated for its exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The region is divided into five main wine-producing areas: Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, and Mâconnais. Burgundy’s complex terroir, characterised by diverse soils, microclimates, and slope orientations, plays a critical role in the distinctive characteristics of its wines. The region's classification system includes Grand Cru, Premier Cru, Village, and Regional appellations, reflecting the hierarchy of quality and location. Burgundy’s vineyards, many with centuries-old histories, produce wines that are revered for their elegance, depth, and expression of terroir. Key towns include Beaune, the region’s wine capital, and Dijon, known for its historical ties to the Dukes of Burgundy. Burgundy’s rich winemaking heritage, combined with its diverse range of wines, makes it a top destination for wine enthusiasts worldwide.
