That's Domaine de la Bongran, Monsieur Hoare... ;-)

Excellent wine, and even in its more affordable Cuvee Levroutee it is
wonderful. The dry version is one of the best QPR wines in Burgundy,
with the chardonnay ripening fully in this very southern end of
Burgundy, and a winemaker that likes to let his grapes ripen all the
way.

BTW, the botrytis is only made very seldom, in suitable years, hence
these wines are a true treat, and rare.
