Domaine de la Cadette

Burgundian Chardonnay from Vézelay's mineral limestone terroir.

Domaine de la Cadette produces Chardonnay from Bourgogne's Vézelay appellation, a limestone-rich terroir in the northernmost reaches of the region. The domain's three flagship whites—La Châtelaine, La Piècette, and Les Saulniers—each express the mineral precision and elegant structure characteristic of Burgundian Chardonnay. All three have received ratings of 90 points from Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator, reflecting their balance of acidity, complexity, and regional typicity. Vézelay Chardonnay typically shows citrus and stone fruit with a distinctive flinty minerality, qualities evident across the portfolio. The winery's focus on single-vineyard expression within this cooler microclimate demonstrates a commitment to terroir-driven winemaking in one of Burgundy's most distinctive white wine territories.
