Domaine Chantal Lescure Côte de Beaune Blanc Le Clos des Topes Bizot 2023
£32.95
The wine
Expressive ripe citrus and stone fruit balanced by bright acidity, with mid-palate texture and a long mineral finish.
Le Clos des Topes Bizot is a walled parcel, a clos being exactly that: an enclosure someone long ago judged worth the expense. Côte de Beaune, without a village name attached, is a small appellation covering the hillside above Beaune itself. It is easily confused with Côte de Beaune-Villages, which is something else entirely, and that confusion is much of why the wines stay affordable. Domaine Chantal Lescure is at Nuits-Saint-Georges, run by Frédéric and Thibault Lescure with the winemaker Fabrice Groussin.
The producer
Domaine Chantal Lescure
View all Domaine Chantal Lescure winesDomaine Chantal Lescure is a respected estate based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, with holdings across both the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. Farmed organically, it has built a name for pure, terroir-driven red and white Burgundy. Quiet quality defines the house.
The domaine works Pinot Noir and Chardonnay across a patchwork of appellations, from village wines to grand premier crus like Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots. Organic farming on Burgundy's limestone soils keeps the fruit pure and expressive. Each cuvée reflects its origins.
In the cellar, the approach is gentle and precise, with whole-bunch ferments and measured oak that preserve fruit and freshness. The reds are fragrant and silky, the whites taut and mineral. Elegance guides every decision.
From an approachable Côte de Beaune to the sublime Vosne-Romanée premier cru, Chantal Lescure offers Burgundy across the spectrum. Pure, elegant and ageworthy, these are wines of real class.
