Vintage Character The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was defined by a warm, dry summer punctuated by well‑timed rains, producing wines of ripe fruit, supple texture, and balanced acidity. This Coteaux Bourguignons Chardonnay shines a pale golden color and opens with aromas of pear, white peach, and citrus zest, lifted by acacia blossom and a delicate touch of almond.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, it is medium‑bodied and lively, with chalky minerality and a crisp, refreshing finish. Its approachable style makes it a versatile companion for pan‑seared scallops, roast chicken with lemon thyme, or a fresh goat cheese salad.
Winery Background Famille Messager Germain is a young domaine founded in 2023 by Adèle Germain and Simon Messager, uniting two families with deep Burgundian roots.
Based in Nuits‑Saint‑Georges, they farm about three hectares of estate vineyards and manage an additional two hectares of négoce holdings, with a strong commitment to organic viticulture. Simon Messager, who trained at Domaine Robert Groffier Père & Fils, brings a modern sensibility to traditional methods. Their philosophy emphasizes low yields, careful pruning, and minimal intervention, aiming to highlight terroir purity. Though still in its infancy, the domaine has quickly gained attention for producing bright, energetic reds and mineral‑focused whites. This Coteaux Bourguignons Chardonnay serves as an inviting introduction to their style—accessible, precise, and expressive of its origins.
