Description
Experience the exquisite artistry of the Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi Bourgogne Côte d'Or `Clos de la Chaise Dieu Monopole` 2022, a stunning expression of the renowned Burgundy region. This 75 CL bottle encapsulates the excellence of its vintage, showcasing a meticulous vineyard situated in the commune of St. Aubin. Here, the south-south-west facing slopes, enriched with light clay and sand atop a limestone fault, nourish the 100% Chardonnay vines, fostering the creation of elegant, well-balanced white wines.
The 2022 vintage stands out for its abundant yields and exceptional quality, driven by ideal weather conditions that have resulted in vibrant fruit with delightful complexity. Before reaching the winery, the grapes benefited from gentle pneumatic pressing followed by a precise fermentation process at 20-22°C. The wine is then refined, aged on its lees in both French oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks, seamlessly marrying tradition with innovation.
Visually stunning, this wine offers a pale golden hue, with a nose revealing:
- Meyer lemon zest
- Golden apple
- Ripe peach
- Delicate toasted oak
- Creamy fresh cream nuances
On the palate, it presents:
- Medium-bodied texture that is both creamy and vibrant
- Flavors of ripe peach and zesty lemon peel
- Hints of toasted oak and roasted almond nuances
- A bright acidity that enhances the overall freshness
The experience culminates in a lingering, elegant finish that features subtle spice and a whisper of warm earthiness, leaving a polished impression on the palate.
For the best enjoyment of this refined white wine, consider the following serving suggestions:
- Serve chilled at a temperature of 10-12°C in tulip-shaped glasses to concentrate its captivating aromas.
- Pair with a delicate lobster salad drizzled with citrus vinaigrette, garnished with edible flowers for an exquisite presentation.
- Create a refreshing white wine spritzer with a splash of elderflower liqueur and soda water, garnished with a twist of grapefruit peel.
- Enjoy alongside lightly seared scallops with sumac and whipped lemon ricotta for a delightful flavor contrast.
- Present the wine on a rustic wooden board paired with a selection of mild cheeses, such as young Comté, thin apple slices, and a drizzle of honey.
The Domaine du Château Philippe le Hardi Bourgogne Côte d'Or `Clos de la Chaise Dieu Monopole` 2022 is an essential addition to your collection, perfect for elevating any occasion with its charm and vibrancy.

Storage advice
For optimal preservation of this white wine:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a consistent cool temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) which maintains freshness and aromatic quality without premature aging. Avoid temperature fluctuations. For longer-term storage a slightly higher stable temperature around 55°F (13°C) can be acceptable but cooler is preferable for white wine.
- Light exposure: Keep the wine in a dark place away from direct sunlight or UV light to prevent degradation and preserve quality.
- Sealing: Ensure the cork remains moist to prevent drying and air ingress; storing bottles horizontally helps keep corks in contact with the wine.
- Bottle position: Store bottles on their side to keep the cork wet and airtight.
- Humidity: Maintain humidity around 70% to prevent corks from shrinking and to protect labels.
- Opened bottles: After opening reseal tightly with a proper wine stopper and store in the refrigerator at about 45°F (7°C). Consume within 2 to 3 days for best quality.
- Special tip: Avoid storing white wines for extended periods in standard refrigerators as low humidity can dry corks and accelerate aging. Use a wine fridge or a cool dark cellar with controlled temperature and humidity if possible.
