Domaine de la Cadette Bourgogne Vezelay 'La Piecette'

Domaine de la Cadette’s Bourgogne Vézelay La Piécette is a wonderfully pure and expressive Chardonnay from this quietly rising appellation in northern Burgundy. Farmed organically and with a strong emphasis on minimal intervention, the wine captures the cool, limestone-rich terroir of Vézelay with impressive clarity. It’s a style that favours energy and drinkability over weight, offering a refreshing counterpoint to the richer expressions found further south in the Côte de Beaune. The nose is bright and inviting, with notes of green apple, lemon zest, and white flowers, alongside a subtle chalky minerality. On the palate, it is crisp and lively, with a clean line of acidity carrying flavours of citrus and orchard fruit, gently rounded by a touch of lees ageing. The finish is precise and mouth-watering, making it an ideal match for fresh seafood, goat’s cheese, or lighter vegetable dishes. An elegant, terroir-driven Chardonnay that overdelivers on both character and value.
