Here are some of the White Burgundies that we think best introduce the Elden Selections palate. We’re not into oaky Chardonnay. We like our whites to be fresh, lively and complex, showing off the diversity of Burgundian minerality

You can taste the ‘terroir’ in Elden Selections White Burgundy, from Chablis, through the Cote de Beaune and onward to the south.

Pure Chardonnay!

INCLUDES 2 BOTTLES OF EACH WHITE WINE PLUS GROUND SHIPPING INCLUDED
 

Elise Villiers Vezelay ‘Le Clos’ 2018
Lively and mineral, like a classy Chablis.  There’s lemon peel and kaffir lime leaf, with chalk underneath and exotic spiciness high on the palate. Rich and tense with a solid core running from attack to a long complex finish.

Julien Cruchandeau Aligote 'Le Village' 2019
From 50 year old vines in the hills above Nuits St Georges, this Aligote is fresh and spicy with green apple acidity.  Bright, crisp almost crunchy fruit and a deep, floral lingering finish carried out long by the limestone minerality.

Domaine Borgeot  Bourgogne 'Clos de la Carbonade' 2018
This single-vineyard Bourgogne ‘Clos de la Carbonade’ is wholly owned by the Borgeots. And the wine they make there is the greatest surprise on our list. It’s a small parcel, located in the village of Bouzeron, the northernmost village of the Cote Chalonnaise. But don’t be fooled by its modest pedigree: the ‘Clos de la Carbonade’ has something special about it. And year after year we see remarkable wines that far outshine appellations much grander than Bourgogne. The Borgeot’s can’t explain it…yet. But there is a geological study underway to see what makes this parcel tick.

Domaine Oudin Chablis 2017
Classic sweet river rock minerality and floral freshness, this is a meticulous perfectionists’ Chablis ‘tout-court’ (as the locals call the ‘village’ appellation). This wine is at its peak now and will remain there for another 3-4 years. A lovely introduction to the Domaine Oudin style.

Agnes Paquet Bourgogne Chardonnay 2018
Raised partly in steel with a small percentage of oak, this Chardonnay from strong limestone soils in the Hautes Cotes is crunchy, like biting in to the grape bunch, with fantastic freshness and good acidity on the finish.  Mineral and pure.

Domaine Borgeot Bouzeron 2018
Floral and fresh, with green apple acidity and body.  Minerality picks up the acidity and carries it to a long finish. Elegant expression of aligoté doré from a single vineyard. Great aperitif wine, but has what it takes to age.
