Boyer – De Bar, Vin de France Chardonnay “Les Peyrarols” 2022 ($35, Dionysos Imports)

By Vince Simmon
Wine label

Vincent Boyer and Emmanuel Lucas De Bar joined forces in 2008 to create the Boyer – De Bar winery. Emmanuel owns vineyards in Hérault, while Vincent Boyer has been at the helm of his family’s estate, Domaine Boyer-Martenot, for over two decades making high-end Burgundian wines. Boyer – De Bar sources fruit from the Hérault Valley, with winemaking operations performed by Vincent in Burgundy. Tropical fruit, buttered sourdough, and minerality are instantly recognizable in this excellent Chardonnay. Boyer-De Bar’s Chardonnay is crafted in a classic Burgundian style, and could easily go toe-to-toe against many Burgundian wines. Fortunately for us, the wine doesn’t command Burgundian prices.
