This bargain-priced Chardonnay-based white from the Hautes Côtes supports my opinion that Domaine Sylvain Langoureau is one of the unrecognized stars in Burgundy’s Côte d’Or. The grapes for this beauty come from vineyards above St. Aubin on the way to the village of La Rochepot. The 2024 vintage, though plagued by poor weather and low yields, nonetheless produced great white wines – just not a lot of them. This bright and lively one combines weight and finesse and finishes with a saline-tinged acidity, imparting great verve. With its high quality/price ratio readers would be wise to stock up for summer.
