Tasting notes
This is really an amazing white with such depth and density of fruit, which is well-layered and structured. Full-bodied and powerful. Truly amazing power and chewy mouthfeel. A white that is a grand cru red in stature and seriousness. Try in 2023.

(in barrel; 13.8% alcohol): Cloudy appearance. Very ripe scents of orange peel, lemon, pear drop and crushed rock; smells solid! Tactile and thick but with integrated lemony acidity leavening the wine's touch of creamy sweetness and accentuating its dusty rocky texture. Soil-driven, concentrated Bâtard but a bit less wild than usual for this cuvée . One feels the humidity of the soil here. A very classy, penetrating, fine-grained grand cru with a superb acid balance (actually 4.2 grams per liter) and outstanding rising length. An outstanding white Burgundy in the making.
