Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi - Clos De La Chaise Dieu Blanc - Monopole2022

WHITE WINE

Tasting notes

Bright, pale gold. The nose is bursting with notes of fresh fruit, white peach and citrus with a delicate touch of fresh hazelnut. The palate is lively, full, and balanced. Long and refreshing, this is a superb Burgundy. Situated in the commune of St. Aubin, this single monopole vineyard lies on a south-south-west facing hillside, very near the Chateau's plot "En Vesvau". This predominantly limestone area consists of light clay and sand on top of a limestone fault; the Chardonnay benefits from perfect drainage conditions, resulting in the production of elegant white wines. Most of the fruit was hand harvested. The wine was aged on its lees (30% in oak barrels and 70% in oak casks) before being bottled.

Estate

One of Burgundy's largest wine Domain's. Its prestigious heritage, which comprises a remarkable Chateau with a glazed tile roof and 90 hectares of vineyards, is the product of a time-old legacy that is closely tied to the history of the Burgundy wine region. This remarkable chateau, with its varnished tiles, is a spectacular piece of heritage closely tied to the region's history. Its vineyards are split between the Cote d'Or and Cote Chalonnaise. The diversity of its 'climats' results in a rich palette of wines with distinctive styles that reflect the subtleties of the Burgundy varietals.
The estate began its organic conversion in 2021 across its 100 hectares of owned vineyards and has been certified since the summer of 2024. The 2024 vintage is the first produced under organic farming.
