"(One of three barrels were new.) Flinty, nutty nose. Suave, rich and sweet, with a leesy quality adding another element to the deep flavors of soft citrus fruit. A rather elegant and creamy style of Genevrieres. Finishes sweet, fat and long, with the soft citrus flavors following through. From a 1974 planting "at the bottom of Dessus."

The Cote de Beaune's largest white-wine village, known for rich, nutty, buttery Chardonnay of generous texture.
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.
