About this Item

Beaune du Château Blanc 2021
4 (1 x 4) 750ml
The 2021 Côte de Beaune white harvest produced wines of exceptional purity, fine mineral precision and classical aromatic elegance, a vintage of notable freshness and genuine longevity that has been widely praised as one of the finest recent efforts for white Burgundy across the finest Premiers Crus of the appellation. Bouchard Père & Fils has been producing the Beaune du Château Blanc cuvée since 1907, blending grapes from five Premier Cru parcels of complementary character Aigrots, Tuvilains, Sizies, Teurons and Sur les Grèves with each climat vinified separately to preserve the individual character of each terroir before final assembly. The wine is produced from 100% Chardonnay, aged 9 to 10 months in French oak with up to 15% new barrels.

Provenance

These wines have been sourced directly from the ancient 15th Century cellars of Bouchard Père et Fils. They were imported into South Africa in March 2026 by Great Domaines via refrigerated container (reefer), ensuring optimal preservation throughout transit.

Critics Ratings

“Aromas of citrus oil, crisp green apple, white flowers and pastry cream introduce the 2021 Beaune 1er Cru du Château Blanc, a medium-bodied, satiny and charming wine that's bright and precise, concluding with a saline finish.” - William Kelley, Wine Advocate (Jan 2023)

“Here's a beautiful example of what was possible with chardonnay in Burgundy in 2021: stunning aromatic complexity – flint, ripe lemon, fresh pineapple plus touches of mint and elderflower – is married to a very elegant medium-bodied palate with a wonderful silkiness. The long delicately chalky finish is precisely underlined by fine tannins. Already delicious!” - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com (Sep 2023)
