Burgundy Chardonnay White 2021 | Wine from Domaine Marthe Henry

Bourgogne Chardonnay Blanc 2021 | Wine from Domaine Marthe Henry

The Domaine Marthe Henry, located in Meursault, is led by Marthe Henry, a young, passionate winemaker. She decided to follow her calling in wine, inspired by her grandfather, Pierre Boillot, a legendary figure in Meursault. After a career in journalism, she trained at the Beaune viticultural high school, then with renowned winemakers like Pierre-Henri Rougeot and Jean-Yves Devevey. She created a quality micro-négoce, and in 2023, she took over family vineyards. Marthe Henry favors a natural and refined winemaking process, with aging for 18 months in oak barrels, without racking or adding sulfur, and vinification of reds with whole clusters. Her minimalist approach gives rise to wines of great purity, balance, and limited production.

The Bourgogne Chardonnay Blanc 2021 is a white wine made from the Chardonnay grape. This wine stands out for its purity and elegance, characteristic of the Burgundy region. It reveals delicate aromas of white fruits, such as pear and apple, mixed with floral notes and a subtle woody touch from its aging in oak barrels. On the palate, there is a beautiful minerality, supported by a balanced acidity that brings freshness and dynamism. This wine is ideal to drink young to enjoy its brilliance, but it can also positively evolve over a few years.
