✨ Technical Specifications
Representing the white winemaking prowess of Yann Charlopin, who joined his father Philippe to elevate the estate's white wine portfolio, this Bourgogne Blanc is a beautiful expression of regional Burgundy terroir. While the estate historically built its legendary reputation on rich, Henri Jayer-inspired Pinot Noir, Yann brought a focused, mineral-driven precision to the whites. Sourced from carefully selected clay-limestone vineyards, the wine undergoes gentle pressing and fermentation in oak barrels, balancing Burgundy's classic textural richness with a bright, refreshing acidity that reflects the modern era of this esteemed family domaine.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1977 by Philippe Charlopin with a modest 1.5-hectare parcel in Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Charlopin-Parizot has expanded to encompass 25 hectares spanning the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Chablis. Philippe Charlopin honed his craft under the mentorship of the revered Henri Jayer, deeply absorbing the master's doctrine of low yields, strict fruit selection, and complete destemming. Today co-managed alongside his son Yann, who directs white winemaking, the domaine cultivates limestone- and clay-rich terroirs using sustainable viticultural practices. In the cellar, vinification emphasizes extended cold macerations, indigenous yeast fermentation, and prolonged aging in French oak barrels without fining. The domaine's benchmark portfolio is renowned for textural density, silky tannins, and aromatic purity, anchored by premier crus like Pernand-Vergelesses and village cuvées such as Gevrey-Chambertin Terres Blanches and Vieilles Vignes, alongside celebrated Grand Cru expressions including Charmes-Chambertin, Clos Vougeot, and Chambertin.
