Not your run‑of‑the‑mill Chardonnay! The 2024 Cadole du Chapitre Bourgogne Chardonnay steps neatly outside the expected lines, showing that Burgundy can be both classical and quietly daring. Think white peach and lemon curd, a flicker of toasted hazelnut, and a subtle struck‑flint edge that keeps you leaning in. There’s a fine thread of acidity carrying notes of ripe pear and citrus zest, a gentle creaminess through the mid‑palate, and a savoury mineral line that brings focus and drive. Texture meets tension in all the right ways — layered, luminous, and unmistakably Burgundian.

As with many great Burgundian sites, Cadole du Chapitre is rooted in history and place. Old vines, limestone‑rich soils, and meticulous hands in both vineyard and cellar shape a wine that speaks clearly of its origin. Respect for tradition is balanced with a precise, contemporary touch — allowing terroir to take centre stage while thoughtful élevage frames and refines.

The Cadole du Chapitre bottling represents a dedication to purity and site expression. Crafted with restraint and intent, it captures the nuance, energy, and quiet confidence that define great white Burgundy — a true reflection of land, season, and the vigneron’s lens.

FROM THE WINEMAKER

Hand harvesting and subsequent foot crushing in the vineyard continues to be one of our favourite techniques. This ‘controlled skin contact’ happens before your eyes in the picking bins. It requires the fruit to be in near perfect condition as there is nowhere to hide, without the use of sulphur or other preservatives at this stage. The juice will undoubtedly brown due to all of the exposure to air, but during this phase there is a real build-up of phenolics, all the good flavour and tannin molecules. After around 6 hours the fruit was “whole bunch pressed” to tank and then rough racked after about 12 hours. The juice was allowed to start a natural ferment in tank before being transferred to a combination of 22HL Slavonian Oak foudre, and old barriques. The wine underwent elevage on full lees in oak for around eleven months prior to racking and going to bottle without fining or filtration.

FOOD PAIRING

Thai fish cakes would go down a treat with this Riesling. Go as hot and spicy as you like, the hotter the dish, the sweeter the wine!
