Tasting notes
The 2017 Bourgogne Blanc is in fact declassified Saint-Romain and Auxey-Duresses blended with fruit from the commune of Meursault, and it's vinified and matured in used 350-liter barrels. Wafting from glass, with notes of toasted nuts, pear and citrus fruit, it's medium-bodied, ample and incisive, with a generous core of delicately textural fruit, framed by juicy acids and concluding with a stony finish. It's one of the finest examples of the appellation to be found.

Inviting aromas of ripe stone fruits and hazelnut. A sappy, dense Bourgogne Blanc with a serious, salty side and noteworthy intensity. Very good potential.
