Albert Morot Beaune Blanc 1Er Les Aigrots 2023 (750ml) *

White wine from the Côte de Beaune tends to run in a leaner, mineral register than its riper cousins elsewhere, and this bottling from Albert Morot works in that vein: a Chardonnay drawn from the Les Aigrots vineyard, one of Beaune's Premier Cru sites, in the 2023 vintage. Premier Cru white Burgundy like this balances orchard fruit against a firm spine of acidity, and it typically rewards a few years of patience in the cellar as much as it pleases on the young side.
