The Bourgogne Blanc Champ Perrier from Domaine Arnaud Tessier is a regional Chardonnay sourced from the Champ Perrier lieu-dit, a specific parcel within the broader Bourgogne Blanc appellation. The use of a lieu-dit name at the regional appellation level reflects Tessier's commitment to parcel transparency even at entry-level pricing, distinguishing this wine from an anonymous multi-site assemblage and signalling a specific terroir source.

Bourgogne Blanc from a named lieu-dit in the Meursault area typically draws on limestone and marl soils that share some of the mineral character of the village wines above them on the classification ladder. For Tessier, the Champ Perrier parcel provides the estate's most accessible white wine entry point, vinified to preserve freshness and aromatic definition rather than the more structured, oak-influenced style applied to the premier cru holdings. The 2022 vintage gave Bourgogne Blanc of ripe, generous fruit and immediate appeal.

Regional Burgundy Blanc from an estate well regarded within Meursault provides a practical and economical introduction to the producer's winemaking style, suitable for buyers who wish to experience Tessier's approach before committing to the higher-classification and correspondingly more expensive premier cru releases. The Champ Perrier designation offers additional specificity for those interested in building a small vertical to track site character across vintages.
