"The 2015 Meursault Blagny Sous la Dos de l’Ane 1er Cru has a surprisingly austere and reserved bouquet with scents of wax resin and pressed white flowers developing in the glass. The palate is well balanced, featuring orange cordial, mandarin and a tang of nectarine mixed with a little eau-de-vie. It settles down with aeration, some initial volatility dissipating to reveal not a faultless wine, but undoubtedly a fascinating one. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (DIAM 10 closure)."

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