“Bright lemon-green color. Vibrant aromas of lime and anise. Juicy, sappy and light on its feet, but with no shortage of texture, offering racy, sharply chiseled citrus and wet stone flavors. Finishes surprisingly pliant and very long, with reverberating lemon and saline notes.” Stephen Tanzer 93

2014 in Burgundy is a benchmark white vintage, tense, fresh and mineral, though Cote de Beaune hail cut yields; the reds are balanced and classically proportioned, with good freshness and medium-term aging potential.
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.
