Givry sits on the southern half of the Cte Chalonnaise, and Domaine Danjean-Berthoux is one of the appellation’s quiet stars a family estate working east- and south-facing limestone hillsides with real precision. La Plante is a 1er Cru lieu-dit planted on marly limestone at altitude, and the white version is pure Chardonnay raised about ten months in barrel and demi-muid (around 20 percent new). The 2022 vintage gave Burgundy ripeness with freshness, and that comes through here: stone fruit, pear, citrus peel, a brush of toast, and a saline, chalky finish that ties everything together. Serious Chardonnay at a friendly price exactly what the Cte Chalonnaise does best.
