Domaine de Cassiopée - Hautes-Cotes de Beaune Blanc "Cotés" 2022

This Cotes Blanc has lovely, innocent, exotic fruit that is sweetly expressive.

Brand new estate in the heart of Sampigny-les-Maranges in 2020, Domaine de Cassiopée is run by Talloulah and Hugo Mathurin who are working hard to make a mark on this under the radar appellation. Domaine de Cassiopée sits on the eastern end within close proximity to the premier cru vineyards. These grapes have two thirds from a four-year-old planting on limestone rock, the rest from vines on granitic rock. The two plots face each other on the ‘cold hill.’

This has lovely, innocent, exotic fruit that is sweetly expressive. From six-year-old vines and with 12.5% alcohol, it’s a vin de soif, nothing more and certainly nothing less. It struggles a bit compared with the two aligotés and the granite version of this wine. (Drink from 2023) 87 points, Steen Öhman, Winehog. 100% Chardonnay.
