"The 2015 Clos des Grandes Vignes Blanc is a beautiful white in the making, with really fine underlying acidity and purity to carry the generous and gently exotic fruit. The grapes here were brought in on September 7th and the wine offers up a ripe and beautifully musky bouquet of peach, passion fruit, sweet almond, lovely soil tones, acacia blossoms and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with a fine core, lovely soil signature, bright acids and lovely freshness and bounce on the complex and classy finish."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
2015 in Burgundy was warm and dry, yielding concentrated, powerful and opulent reds with ripe tannins from low yields; the whites are richer and generous, though some show comparatively lower acidity.
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.
