2023 MARTHE HENRY Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc
Marthe Henry, based in Meursault, is one of the most compelling and highly watched artisanal producers in the Côte de Beaune. Establishing her micro-négociant and domaine label with a steadfast commitment to organic viticulture and hands-off cellar work, Marthe crafts white Burgundies defined by aromatic clarity, tension, and unadorned site transparency.
Sourced from high-altitude, limestone-dominated parcels on the slopes above Saint-Romain and Meursault, this Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc benefits from cooler microclimates that lock in vibrant natural acidity and mineral precision. Vinified with indigenous yeasts, gentle whole-cluster pressing, and long lees aging in neutral oak barrels without batônnage or sulfur additions during elevage, this cuvée offers a chiseled, vibrant white Burgundy that overdelivers on structure and sophistication.
