What is this wine?

Chanterêves is the highly regarded micro-domaine run by Tomoko Kuriyama and Guillaume Bott, known for crafting luminous, terroir-expressive wines from organically farmed fruit across the Côte d’Or. Based in Savigny-lès-Beaune, the pair vinify gently—native yeast fermentations, minimal sulfur, and aging in neutral oak—to highlight freshness and purity.
The Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc “Mainbey” 2023 comes from cool, high-altitude vineyards near Baubigny, on limestone and marl soils typical of the upper slopes above Pommard and Saint-Romain. The fruit’s natural tension and minerality are preserved through careful pressing and slow fermentation, resulting in a crisp, elegant Chardonnay that overdelivers for its appellation.

Why get this wine?

“Mainbey” captures the elegance and clarity that define Chanterêves’ style, offering Grand Cru-level precision at Bourgogne value. The 2023 vintage brings a touch of ripeness to the domaine’s usual tension, creating a beautifully balanced wine that’s equally suited to casual drinking and thoughtful tasting. It’s one of Burgundy’s most consistently exciting regional whites.

What does this wine taste like?

Bright and expressive, with lemon peel, green apple, white flowers, and crushed stone. The palate is vibrant and saline, with fine texture and a lingering chalky finish.

When should you drink this wine?

Drink now for freshness or over the next 5–7 years to develop richness. Ideal with oysters, grilled fish, or roast chicken.

If there is a winemaking category for clean, transparent and terroir driven Burgundy made by a wife and husband, micro-negociant team than Tomoko Kuriyama and Guillaume Bott of Maison Chantereves would be the super stars. Actually they are basically superstars anyway!

Here is how our colleague, John Truax, explains things (he has visited Chantereves more than anyone):

"The immaculate and precise winemaking at Chanterêves is inspired by old wisdom and new techniques. Both Guillaume Bott and Tomoko are trained enologists. For whites they press the whole cluster grapes with light or no SO2 addition to the must. Only indigenous yeasts, natural malolactic fermentation. No fining, sometimes one light filtration of about 50% of the final blend. Red wines are all 100% whole cluster fermented. No mechanical pump-overs. Punch downs are done with their feet. The wines are bottled in January or February after two winters in their cold cellar. Fermentation is in old oak and the wines are aged in used oak barrels. Rarely are any new barrels used."
