Made by consultant oenologist Pierre Millemann as part of a new family venture in which a proportion of each bottle sale goes to charity. Racked to tank a week ago from one new 500-litre barrel. Riper on the nose than the 2017 with less reductive character. Pure citrus, still incredibly salty like the 2017 but a little less tension. Firm, chewy and still fresh. Not as complex as the 2017 but more generous. Long, too. (JH)
About the producer
Since 2017, Pierre Millemann – a leading wine consultant – along with his wife, and now daughter Charlotte, has been working as a micro-négoce, producing tiny volumes of Premier and Grand Cru Burgundy, both white and red. The wines have rapidly become some of the region’s most sought-after.
