The nose is gorgeous with yellow pear and apple, toasty notes, and a deep salty core. The mouth follows with vibrant yet luscious acidity, dancing with fruit, hints of wood, and a long unique finish perfect for grilled fish, and great cheese.
The 2022 Sébastien Besson Beaujolais Blanc is a wine that showcases the seriousness and true class that Chardonnay from the very south of Burgundy can possess. Coming from the upper slopes of Le Châtelard hill just outside of Lancie, the grapes are harvested and brought to the cellar for a cold soak, gentle press, and natural fermentation in used oak barrels. The wine is then aged in the same wood for close to a year with no lees stirring for 11 months and only topped up occasionally to showcase the benefits that more oxygen can provide in creating this amazing style of the grape (think more towards Jura’s woody style over typical ‘oaky’ Chardonnay). Only seeing a small dose of sulfur before bottling, the wine is then aged for several months before release.
"Respect for the land, the grapes, and the entire process, is my top priority… Because without these things, I have nothing" – Sébastien Besson
