James Suckling
A surprisingly complex white Beaujolais that outclasses the appellation. Herbaceous notes of lime blossom are followed on the palate by a fine balance between smoothness and crisp lemony notes, a freshness that awakens your taste buds right through to the long, mineral finish. We love it!

Clay soil in the commune of Lantignié, lieu-dit "Les Monthieux", vines aged 10 years on average.
Viticulture
Reasoned vineyard management follows the rhythm of the seasons: pruning in winter, disbudding in spring, trellising in summer. As most of the vines are located on the soils of the upper slopes of the Py, a single treatment is sometimes necessary, as grass hardly grows at all. Scrubbing when necessary.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
After graduating in viticulture and oenology, Jean-Marc Burgaud settled in Morgon on the Côte de Py in 1989. Today, he owns 17 hectares in four appellations, Beaujolais-Villages red and white, Régnié and Morgon, the latter representing 11.80 hectares. Jean-Marc Burgaud is a discreet winegrower, but just mention his name in the vineyard and you'll quickly realize that his reputation precedes him.

Domaine noté (guide 2022) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate)
About the domain :
For several years running, I've noticed that Jean-Marc Burgaud is a winemaker at the top of his game, and his success in meeting the challenges of the 2021 vintage is just further proof of that. These are some of the most delicious wines produced in the region today, and they're all the better for Burgaud's decision to abandon new oak in favor of dry wood and pursue a gentler extraction than in the past, with his semi-classic - carbonic maceration lasting 7 to 15 days depending on the cuvée. And there is only one bottling of each wine, which gives a rare homogeneity, even for its 4.3 hectares in Beaujolais-Lantignié (one of the region's finest values, by the way).
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (guide 2023) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
Since the creation of his domaine in 1989, Jean-Marc Burgaud has become a firm fixture in our guide. From his apprenticeship in Burgundy, he has learned to work in cuvées parcellaires, to age the grapes over two winters, and to destem the grapes according to the year and the wine. His vinification always brings a velvety look to the Gamay, set by barrel ageing (very little new) adjusted to each climate (the majority being located on different Morgon terroirs). He also produces régnié and beaujolais-villages on the granite soils of Lantignié. The style has opened up over time, without losing sight of the expression of the place.

Note and review by M. ADRIEN M. Published on 24/10/2023
So it's a very typical Chardonnay a ec with a nose of two lemons (yellow and lime) and a clean palate that matches the nose well with a very nice umami side.
