93 WSM "The wine is slow to respond to air - mostly apricot, oak and intense soil character. The dense structure begins to yield a scent of gunpowder and dry honey along with a gamey meatiness. It's a bold wine, gigantic in its richness, balanced on its own terms. Give it a decade and then something as substantial as roast partridge with wild mushrooms."

A pinnacle of white Burgundy, producing taut, mineral and long-lived Chardonnay of great precision and finesse.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
