2015 Bourgogne Vézelay Blanc “La Châtelaine”
Domaine de la Cadette
★ $28.00
La Châtelaine is a single-vineyard bottling, and if I’m remembering the story correctly, the image on the label is a woodcut that a family member once found when cleaning out their house—it was simply too beautiful to throw away.
If the Galerne is typique, then La Châtelaine highlights what may be the best terroir of Vézelay and why this little appellation is on the map in the first place. With a style that hews more closely to Chablis than to Côte d’Or, La Châtelaine shows off a mouth-coating, deep, earthy, mineral side. The 2015 vintage adds a bit of roundness and fruit, which gives a wine of great quality that far exceeds its price. –Clark Z. Terry
