Chantereves, Bourgogne Blanc Yume Utai, 2024
Bourgogne Blanc is where you find out whether a producer can actually make wine, with no grand cru vineyard around to do the work for them. Chantereves passes. The domaine is the work of Tomoko Kuriyama and Guillaume Bott, who farm biodynamically and handle their Chardonnay with a famously light touch, letting the wine arrive as itself rather than as a pile of oak. Yume Utai is Japanese, roughly a song of dreams, which is a poetic name for an entry-level white, and the wine earns it. It's medium-bodied and taut, with white peach, lemon peel, crushed stone and a saline edge running through a long, mineral finish. Serve it cool, not cold, and it will still be improving in the glass an hour later.
