"Brilliant pale yellow. Knockout delicate perfume of citrus peel, wild herbs and acacia flower. Dense but weightless in the mouth, with its superb sweetness of fruit perfectly countered by penetrating minerality. This wonderfully sappy white wine delivers outstanding energy and life in the mouth. Its dusty, sappy, extremely long finish saturates the palate without flagging. This wine was an attention-grabber from barrel in late 2015 and it's every bit as good in its finished form. While it's built to age, it would be great with oysters right now."

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.
