Domaine Fargues, Coteaux Bourguignon, Burgundy, France, 2017

Drinking Window: 2020 – 2024
Bénédicte and Bastien Fargues established their tiny 1.3ha estate in Bligny-lès-Beaune in 2005 and are already making notable wines. They limit yields by debudding and bottle without fining or filtering. This 2017 Chardonnay-Aligoté blend demonstrates the virtue of that marriage. A beam of citrus-like acidity supports its fruity and minerally aspects. The freshness on the finish amplifies the wine’s charms. It would be a good choice for simply grilled fish or shellfish.
