“This is also quite floral in character with its pretty array of white orchard fruit, citrus and a whiff of petrol. There is once again good volume and richness to the round and caressing medium weight flavors that possess sneaky good length on the lingering finish that really fans out as it sits on the palate. This will need a few years to further develop depth but the underlying material is present to facilitate that transformation.”

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.
