FEATURES
The 2022 Domaine Guyon Morey Saint Denis La Bidaude is a white 布根地 (Burgundy) Chardonnay from a vintage that is proving to be excellent, despite early challenges with icy lows in April. This wine, sourced from a cooler parcel just above Clos des Lambrays, offers an underlying mineral tension. Critics praise its ripe yet cool aromas of citrus confit, green apple, and soft spice, alongside a sleek, beautifully detailed palate with good volume and evident minerality. It presents as youthfully austere, bone-dry, and boasts a sneaky long finish. Some notes also highlight a clean profile, slightly tropical nuances, and flavors of sliced pear, kiwi, and papaya, with a nice nose of butter, fresh apricot, and a touch of honey, complemented by pale lemon acidity and a flinty character. 【 Extremely impressive for a village Morey blanc 】 according to Jasper Morris MW, who rated it 91-93/100.
This versatile white 布根地 pairs wonderfully with roasted poultry, grilled seafood, and creamy pasta dishes. It's also an excellent match for chicken and turkey, rich fish like salmon or tuna, and mild, soft cheeses. Consider serving it with chicken with mushroom cream sauce, seared scallops, or a selection of soft cheeses for an elevated dining experience.
The 2022 Guyon Morey Saint Denis La Bidaude is an excellent choice for a sophisticated dinner party, a special family gathering, or an intimate meal where a high-quality white 布根地 is appreciated. Its balance and complexity make it suitable for both traditional and contemporary cuisine.
