Domaine Élodie Roy Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc

The palate is fresh, crystalline, and quietly textural, opening with pear, green apple, and lemon zest. The fruit feels clean and lifted, shaped by the cool 2021 vintage and the high‑plateau clay‑limestone soils. A mid‑palate of white peach, almond, and soft floral tones adds gentle roundness, while a subtle thread of chalky minerality keeps the wine taut and focused. The texture is silky but energetic, carrying the wine with a sense of brightness rather than weight. As it opens, hints of acacia honey, citrus pith, and wet stone emerge, adding depth without softening the wine’s tension. The finish is long, fresh, and lightly saline, tapering with notes of pear skin and lemon peel. Overall, it’s a precise, mineral, beautifully balanced Hautes‑Côtes de Beaune Blanc — expressive yet restrained, and very much in Élodie Roy’s elegant, terroir‑driven style.
