Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Les Foires Blanc 2024
£25.45
The wine
Pale lemon. Ripe lemon and apricot married with floral hints and toasted notes. Fleshy on the palate, with good texture and a vibrant acidity.
Les Foires sits in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, just north-west of the Saint-Aubin lieu-dit En Vesveau, with a south-south-easterly aspect. The Hautes-Côtes lie in the hills behind the main slope, higher and cooler, which was a handicap for most of their history and is now an advantage. Very gently pressed in a pneumatic press.

View all Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi winesDomaine du Château Philippe le Hardi is one of Burgundy largest single estates, centred on a historic château in the Côte Chalonnaise. Named for the medieval Duke Philip the Bold, who championed Pinot Noir, it farms an impressive spread from Mercurey to the grand crus of the Côte d'Or. Few domaines offer such range.
The estate farms sustainably across a mosaic of terroirs, vinifying each with care and well-judged oak. From everyday Bourgogne to grand cru, the wines share a house signature of balance, freshness, and polish. There is real quality at every level.
The range spans crisp Chalonnaise whites, characterful Mercurey reds, and a fine selection of Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune crus. Each traces the character of its appellation with confidence.
To pour a Philippe le Hardi wine is to taste the breadth of Burgundy from a single, storied estate. Polished, balanced, and dependable, these are wines for every table.
