Bastian Wolber 'Laisse Tomber' Bourgogne Cote-d'Or Blanc 2022
Bastian Wolber “Laisse Tomber” Bourgogne Côte-d’Or Blanc 2022 is a polished, low-intervention Chardonnay that reflects a modern, artisanal Burgundy style with real precision and character. It combines purity, texture and minerality in a way that feels both contemporary and distinctly Burgundian.
Site & Identity
This cuvée sits in the more selective Côte-d’Or category, giving it a stronger sense of place and a more serious commercial positioning than a basic regional Bourgogne Blanc. It is crafted in a spirit of careful viticulture and minimal intervention, with a clear emphasis on terroir expression, tension and finesse. The result is a wine that feels elegant, individual and quietly premium.
Technical Tasting Note
-
Appearance: Pale gold with a bright, crystalline sheen.
-
Nose: White flowers, citrus peel, ripe pear, green apple, subtle hazelnut and chalky mineral notes.
-
Palate: Dry and focused, with fresh acidity, a rounded but precise texture, and layered orchard fruit carried by a saline mineral thread.
-
Finish: Clean, persistent and mouthwatering, with citrus lift, stone-fruit nuance and a refined chalky close.
Winemaking & Style
The wine is presented in a restrained style that prioritizes clarity over overt oak influence. Expect a balanced Chardonnay with both energy and depth, where texture comes from thoughtful élevage rather than richness alone. The Côte-d’Or designation supports a more serious, terroir-driven profile that should appeal to buyers looking for a modern Burgundy with authenticity and poise.
Food Pairing
Ideal with roast chicken, seafood, shellfish, creamy pasta, grilled fish and delicate poultry dishes. It also works well with aged cheese and refined bistro cooking.
