"From En Charlemagne in Pernand. This too is aromatically quite elegant with its combination of green apple, white flower and citrus zest aromas that are cut with wet stone and spice wisps. There is excellent volume to the energetic and equally mineral-driven though much bigger and more powerful flavors that exhibit very fine depth on the impressively long finish. This is presently quite tightly wound though I suspect that it could be approachable after only 5 to 7 years if you enjoy more primary fruit. Worth checking out."

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.
2018 in Burgundy was hot and dry with a large crop, producing ripe, rich and powerful reds of generous fruit; the whites are full-bodied but require care, as some show 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.
