Bright, pale gold in the glass, with an expressive nose of white peach, citrus blossom, and fresh hazelnut underpinned by the chalky minerality that defines the appellation. The palate is focused and elegant, with vibrant acidity giving real precision and drive. Flavours of ripe pear, lemon curd, and toasted almond build gradually, finishing long and clean with a lingering mineral edge. This is a white Burgundy which could be described as the smoothest of them all. A wine to sip.

Domaine Dupont-Fahn

A tale of two stories... a few years ago a Burgundy man bought a vineyard near Montpellier in the South of France. He uses Chardonnay for the whites and makes it as if it was a Burgundy, using the same method, making a wonderful result. As to the red made with Cabernet-Sauvignon, the combination is even more challenging, as you have a traditional Bordeaux grape, grown in the South of France and made by a Burgundy man. The result is compelling!

Region and Appellation Information

Region – Burgundy

The region of Burgundy, also known as Bourgogne, has a rich and opulent history. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the Grand Duchy of Burgundy reached as far as Belgium and the North Sea, becoming renowned for its riches, culture, and wine. Building on vineyards planted by the Romans and later cultivated by medieval monks, the region established a winemaking legacy that endures today. Despite being geographically small, Burgundy produces some of the most expensive and sought-after wines in the world, its limestone soils lending them a uniquely appetising minerality that sets a Burgundy apart from its peers.

Appellation – Puligny-Montrachet

Making high-quality whites from Chardonnay, the Puligny-Montrachet appellation, located in the Côte de Beaune region of Burgundy, is widely celebrated and considered to produce some of the greatest white wine in the world. Its production spans over 230 hectares between Meursault to the north and Chassagne-Montrachet to the south. With four Grand Cru vineyards and 17 Premier Crus, the grapes yield wines of an elegant, intense, and mineral style.
