Af Gros Bourgogne Hautes Cotes De Nuits Blanc 2024 (750ml) *

Chardonnay from the higher, cooler slopes above the Côte de Nuits tends toward freshness and cut rather than weight, and this white from the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, made by the house of A.F. Gros, sits squarely in that mold. It is white Burgundy in a bright, unshowy register, the 2024 vintage offering the kind of citrus-edged Chardonnay that Burgundy built its reputation on, meant for the table rather than the cellar.
