Chardonnay

Les Beugnons is one of the oldest "Climats" in Burgundy tracing back to 1572.  Dampt makes this wonderful value in a more "modern" way vinifying the wine in a concrete egg.  The result is a wine that is green/light gold in color.  The nose is clean with a bit of peach and slight citrus.  Medium bodied.  Excellent acidity.  On the palate, this is crisp with notes of white peach.  Long finish.  This is great on its own but better with food.  Of course, shell fish but don't discount pasta in a butter sauce.  Drink over the next seven to ten years.  

This is 100% chardonnay although it is not labelled as Blanc de blanc.  Disgorged May 2023.  Golden in color, clear and bright with a nice  mousse of tiny bubbles.  The nose has baked bread, red apples and slight ginger.  Medium to full bodied.  Good acidity.  nice mouthfeel.  On the palate, this has some depth and complexity.  Flavors of apples with some minerality and slight gingersnap on the finish.  This is lovely on its own and better with food.  It will work with most foods but would be nice with melted brie on toast.  Drink over the next ten years.
