Domaine Tessier – Bourgogne Chardonnay “Champ-Perrier” 2023

A Chardonnay from Domaine Tessier, from the eponymous Premier Cru vineyard in the Meursault appellation of Burgundy. The aroma ranges from pear and kumquat to honeydew melon, while on the palate, ripe fruitiness dances with subtle oak spice. A good, not too heavy wine, ideal as an accompaniment to light aperitifs.

Arnaud Tessier took over the family winery in 2009 after the tragic death of his father at the young age of 21. Together with his wife Catherine, he now manages the approximately 7.5-hectare estate. Arnaud tends to his vines individually and personally by hand with seemingly endless energy; the sheer amount of work he puts into each vine has already earned him a reputation as a minor sensation in the region. The passion and expertise of Arnaud and Catherine Tessier, combined with the yields from six of Meursault's most prestigious vineyards, produce Chardonnays that are unparalleled, even in the Côte-d'Or.
