Everyday White Burgundy Done Right
Imported by Skurnik Wines & Spirits—one of the most respected names in the business—this under-the-radar gem of a white Burgundy by Les Belles Roches comes with no hype, no fancy château, and not much backstory. But here’s the thing: once you pour a glass, it does everything right.
Sourced from 30+ year-old Chardonnay vines planted in high-altitude clay-limestone soils in southern Burgundy, Les Belles Roches delivers what every great Bourgogne Blanc should: freshness, minerality, and a generous texture that keeps you coming back for more. Although fruit sources are not disclosed, this smacks of the Macon with some breadth of body and chalky minerality. Think of it as a cousin to the wines of Jean-Claude Thevenet—pure, mineral-driven, and wonderfully drinkable, but at a price that makes it easy to keep on hand.
Fermented and aged in stainless steel, this wine is a lively, mineral-focused expression of Chardonnay. It opens with bright notes of lemon zest, crisp green apple, and ripe pear, followed by a broad, creamy texture that fills the palate without overwhelming it. There’s that unmistakable limestone lift and chalky snap on the finish—a reminder that Burgundy, even at its most modest, can offer elegance and complexity.
In short, this is textbook every day White Burgundy—honest, unpretentious, and delicious. It’s the kind of wine that disappears quickly from the fridge, pairs effortlessly with everything from roast chicken to seafood to soft cheeses, and never fails to impress. Whether you're stocking up for weeknights or want a value white that over-delivers every time, this is a no-brainer. Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, take the value white Burg when it is offered.
