Côte de Beaune AOC Les Monsnières 2022 Le Puy de L'Ours

What kind of wine it is

Côte de Beaune Blanc Les Monsnières by Le Puy de L’Ours is a white wine obtained from Chardonnay grapes grown in the renowned Burgundy region. This Côte de Beaune label is crafted through a delicate process of whole bunch pressing. The structure is enriched during twelve months of barrel aging, which gives it a harmonious profile and a pronounced mineral identity.

Where it comes from

This white wine is born in the heart of Burgundy, specifically in the heights of the Côte de Beaune. The vineyards are located on the upper slopes, in a position that ensures valuable temperature variations essential for the aromatic character of the grapes. The area is characterized by rocky soils rich in clay and limestone veins. This environment enhances the sapidity and gives the glass a clear and well-defined mineral persistence.

How it is produced

After pressing, the must undergoes a cold settling for forty-eight hours, during which it naturally clarifies to protect the fruit. The vinification involves cold settling for forty-eight hours, as mentioned above. Thanks to a twelve-month rest in barrels, the wine gains depth and emphasizes varietal traits without overpowering its lively freshness on the palate.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it displays a bright pale straw yellow color. The nose reveals delicate fruity and floral notes, enhanced by clear citrus hints that underscore its aromatic purity. The palate is lively and vibrant, supported by well-integrated freshness. The taste ends with a profound savoury finish, a faithful reflection of the rocky and limestone-rich subsoil from which it originates.

Food pairings

Thanks to its refined balance, the bottle elegantly accompanies seafood dishes and fish with delicate preparations. It also pairs happily alongside white meats and soft cheeses, as it intertwines perfectly with its dynamic minerality.

When to serve it

It is well-suited to enlivening convivial occasions, as it works splendidly both for toasts and at the table. Its taut, lively character makes it immediately enjoyable and highlights a fragrant juice. However, the solid foundation built during its time in barrels gives it interesting ageing potential, offering a multi-faceted experience even after a few years of cellaring.
