Jean Michel Giboulot Haute Côte de Beaune Blanc

Jean‑Michel Giboulot Hautes‑Côtes de Beaune Blanc 2021 opens with bright, cool‑toned aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach, lifted by acacia blossom and a clean, chalk‑lined minerality typical of the high‑altitude slopes west of the Côte de Beaune. The palate is crisp, supple, and quietly textural, offering citrus‑and‑orchard‑fruit purity supported by lively acidity and a fine saline thread that keeps the wine focused and refreshing. Subtle hints of pear skin, almond, and crushed stone add nuance without interrupting the wine’s sleek, delicately sculpted core. The finish is long, mouthwatering, and lightly mineral, showcasing a beautifully balanced Hautes‑Côtes Chardonnay shaped by the freshness and precision of the 2021 vintage.
