🌟 A hidden gem of white Burgundy—generous and mineral, with a fine balance of richness and finesse from the southern edge of the Côte de Beaune.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale gold with a subtle green glint—luminous and inviting.

👃 On the Nose:
Elegant aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and fresh almond are layered with hints of acacia, wet stone, and subtle vanilla from well-integrated oak.

👅 On the Palate:
Rounded and textured, with orchard fruits and citrus at the core. There’s a chalky minerality and a touch of saline tension that gives energy and lift. A creamy mid-palate is balanced by vibrant acidity, leading to a long, focused finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with roast chicken, scallops with beurre blanc, creamy mushroom pasta, or goat cheese tart. Also ideal with grilled white fish or a classic Comté.

⏳ Enjoyment Window:
Drinking beautifully now, with the potential to develop further complexity over the next 5–7 years.

Les Coteaux sous la Roche is an under-the-radar treasure for white Burgundy lovers—combining the elegance of Meursault with the tension of Chassagne at a fraction of the price. Antoine Olivier crafts this Chardonnay with precision and heart, making it a superb expression of Santenay terroir.
