Domaine Bachey-Legros, En Charron, Santenay, Burgundy, France, 2022
Domaine Bachey-Legros is a historic estate in the Côte de Beaune, known for its old-vine holdings and traditional Burgundian craftsmanship. The 'En Charron' cuvée is sourced from a tiny, high-altitude parcel of 25-year-old Chardonnay vines, where the rocky limestone soils impart striking tension and focus. Following a classic fermentation in French oak barrels—using a modest percentage of new wood—the wine develops texture without masking its terroir. It is bright and energetic, offering crisp notes of green apple, lemon zest, and a subtle, earthy minerality that lingers on the finish. Varietal: Chardonnay Appellation: Santenay, Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France Farming: Sustainable Style: White. Dry, bright and mineral-driven
