Vintage Character Thomas‑Collardot Bourgogne ‘Les Petits Poiriers’ 2021 is a quintessential Burgundy Chardonnay that reflects the limestone‑rich terroir of the Côte de Beaune with clarity and finesse. The 2021 vintage in Burgundy was shaped by a cool spring with severe frost, followed by a moderate summer, resulting in reduced yields but wines of purity, freshness, and classic tension. This cuvée, drawn from a small parcel at the foot of Puligny‑Montrachet, has been praised for its precision, with CellarTracker users rating it around 90 points. The bouquet opens with crisp green apple, citrus blossom, and a gentle touch of hazelnut, layered over delicate mineral undertones.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, it is vibrant and lively, balancing refreshing acidity with supple texture, while flavors of lemon zest, white peach, and a subtle saline note carry through to a long, elegant finish. Its nimble structure and mineral drive make it a versatile partner for dishes such as grilled scallops, goat cheese tart, or classic roast chicken with herbs, where its freshness and depth enhance both delicate and savory flavors.
Winery Background Thomas Collardot is an emerging talent in Puligny‑Montrachet, revitalizing family vineyards with a passionate commitment to terroir expression and artisanal winemaking. After a career in engineering, he returned to his roots, bringing scientific precision together with traditional Burgundian practices.
The domaine farms sustainably, with hand harvesting and careful vineyard management to ensure healthy fruit. In the cellar, grapes are gently pressed, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged in 350‑liter oak barrels (including a proportion of new wood) for 10 to 12 months, followed by a short period in stainless steel to preserve freshness. This minimal‑intervention approach allows each parcel to express its unique character. With small‑batch production and meticulous attention to detail, Thomas‑Collardot has quickly gained recognition among Burgundy enthusiasts, positioning the estate as a rising star for expressive, terroir‑driven Chardonnays.
