Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi, Bourgogne Côte d'Or ‘Clos de la Chaise Dieu Monopole’ 2023

£34.95

Why Mark chose this

This is a monopole Chardonnay from a walled vineyard near Saint-Aubin, owned exclusively by the domaine and made with real Burgundian seriousness. Philippe le Hardi is a historic name in the region, with the estate tracing back to the Dukes of Burgundy. The wine shows the cool, mineral character of the Côte d'Or in a clean, precise style that punches above its Bourgogne appellation.

Tasting Notes

Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi (formerly Château de Santenay) was once the stately home of the first Duke of Burgundy, Philippe le Hardi, who received his duchy from his father, the King of France. Philippe is famous for banning the cultivation of Gamay in the Côte d’Or, saying in his edict of 1395 that only Pinot Noir could be used in the production of red wines from the already fabled slopes. The Bourgogne Blanc Côte d’Or comes from a monopole near Saint-Aubin called `Clos de la Chaise Dieu`.
