2021 Domaine des Rouges-Queues Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc

WINEMAKER: Isabelle & Jean-Yves Vantey
REGION: Burgundy, FR
VARIETY: Chardonnay
VITICULTURE: Certified Organic/Biodynamic

Today we celebrate, because here we get to drink and appreciate a fine Bourgogne Blanc. And forever and ever that should be a reason to celebrate. Here is an elegant and expressive wine. A real concentration of aromas which tend towards turned apricots that are ready for pie and honey that you bought on holiday - forgotten flowers and places. All the roundness of good Chardonnay with a very pleasant balance that leans towards acid. One of the signatures of the domain and rightly so, it’s carefully thought out. We love.

Isabelle & Jean-Yves Vantey established their domaine in 1998 with just one hectare in Maranges, the youngest appellation in Burgundy named just ten years earlier. Now they farm six hectares biodynamically across 15 different sites in various appellations. The name "Rouges Queues" came from the birds ("red tail", also known as "black redstart") circling around the estate while they restored the old farm buildings.
