Beaujolais-Lantignié "Le Blanc" 2023 - Château des Vergers

Le Blanc 2023 from Château des Vergers makes the elegant case that Beaujolais is not only about Gamay. Grown on the blue stone soils of Lantignié, this Chardonnay reveals a singular personality, somewhere between mineral freshness and Burgundian generosity.

On the nose, citrus leads with candied lemon and lime zest, joined by fresh apple and lightly toasted bread. A subtle gunflint note brings depth and marks the mineral identity of this unusual terroir.

The palate offers a fine balance between tension and generosity. White fruit and citrus mingle with delicate floral notes, while a discreet touch of vanilla and fresh butter enriches the whole without ever weighing it down. The finish is precise, long and particularly harmonious.

The 2023 vintage strikes a remarkable balance between freshness and richness, giving a Chardonnay that is complex, approachable and deeply attached to where it comes from. A lovely find for anyone who likes whites with character.
