Domaine Céline et Frédéric Gueguen - Bourgogne - Côtes Salines - White - 2024

Wine:

The 2024 Bourgogne Côtes Salines White comes across in a very Chablis-like style — pure, crystal-clear and bursting with mineral brightness, with no oak influence to weigh it down. A touch of noble green notes adds energy and precision, giving the palate a crunchy, mouthwatering edge that’s refreshing and seriously stimulating.

It’s the perfect aperitif wine, the kind that pairs effortlessly with goat cheese, seafood, oysters or shrimp.
