Domaine Thomas Collardot Bourgogne Blanc Hautes Cotes de Beaune

The palate is bright, tensile, and mountain‑air fresh, opening with lemon zest, green apple, and white pear before moving into a cooler, more lifted core of chalk, crushed stone, and subtle herbal freshness that reflects the higher‑altitude vineyards of the Hautes‑Côtes. Acidity is crisp, linear, and beautifully energising, giving the wine drive and a sense of altitude‑borne clarity. The texture is sleek and lightly saline, with just a whisper of creaminess from restrained élevage. Subtle notes of grapefruit pith, white flowers, and almond skin add nuance without softening the wine’s tension. The mid‑palate is taut, pure, and delicately mineral, carrying citrus and stone in equal measure.
