Romane et Clement Nuits Saint Georges Bourgogne Blanc 2021 (750ml) *

White Burgundy in its more approachable register, this is a Chardonnay bottled as Bourgogne Blanc by Romane et Clement, with roots around Nuits-Saint-Georges in the Côte de Nuits. The 2021 vintage sits at the everyday end of the region's hierarchy, the kind of white that shows what the grape does across Burgundy without the weight or price of a village or premier cru bottling. Chardonnay from this part of France tends toward orchard fruit and a clean, mineral-edged freshness, a style built more on precision than on power.
