Camus-Bruchon, Bourgogne Cote d'Or Blanc , 2023

From Guillaume Camus of Savigny-les-Beaune, this appellation-level white offers entry into one of the Côte de Beaune's most thoughtful producers. Guillaume's philosophy centers on vineyard work rather than cellar manipulation—he believes the wine is made in the fields. The Camus family's heritage includes old vineyard holdings planted by Reine Joly (Guillaume's great-grandmother) around World War I, contributing depth and character even to their regional bottlings. The 2023 Bourgogne Blanc reflects this commitment to quality viticulture, with minimal new oak (never exceeding 25% even for top wines) and restrained cellar practices allowing the Chardonnay to speak. This is approachable white Burgundy with substance.
