Introduction:
The 2022 Domaine Pierre Guillemot “Dessus les Gollardes” is a beautifully composed white Burgundy—both refined and intriguing. A rare blend of Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay, it delivers a crystalline minerality alongside floral and stone fruit complexity, making it both digestible in its youth and rewarding with patience.

Terroir:
Sourced from a plateau north of Savigny-lès-Beaune, the vineyard benefits from cool breezes off the Rhoin River and glacially influenced marl and gravelly limestone soils. These conditions create slow, even ripening and a distinctive mineral-driven character.

Appearance:
Bright pale straw with silver reflections—clear, luminous, and inviting.

Nose:
Elegant aromas of white flowers, crisp stone fruit (think pear and white peach), a touch of nutmeg, and a distinctive tension of petrol or flint that adds aromatic intrigue.

Palate:
Medium-bodied and layered—fruit-forward without excess. Tangy stone fruit flavors are framed by vibrant acidity, whispering herbal notes, and a chalky mineral streak.

Finish:
Clean, persistent, and lively. The finish lingers with citrus zest, subtle salinity, and floral nuance—leaving a refreshing trace.

Overall Impression:
A distinctive white Burgundy that marries freshness with depth. It’s expressive now, and will reward those who cellar it for medium term development. Versatile and gastronomic in style—elegant yet grounded.
