Bourgogne Blanc 'Vertige' 2024

The cuvée is named 'Vertige' because it comes from the granite quarries of Leynes. Leynes sits exactly on the fault line between the Beaujolais granite and the clay-limestone soils from Burgundy. That makes this wine a great blind tasting contender as it has its very own identity. Note that this is not an oaked Chardonnay, yet it has that very recognizable apple and nuts profile and a slightly lighter creamy texture than the Saint Véran (more oaked Chardonnays).
