"The 2015 Charmes chez Jobard is also a lovely wine, with just a touch more generous style than the Poruzots and Genevrières this year, but still impressive acidity for the vintage. The bouquet is pure and beautiful, delivering a blend of pear, tangerine, buttered almonds, salty soil tones, orange blossoms and a deft framing of new wood. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and supremely elegant, with a fine core, bright, zesty acids, lovely complex and a very long, suave and vibrant finish. This is going to be hard not to drink right out of the blocks, as it is flat out delicious, but I would try to hold it for at least a few years in the cellar and allow some of its secondary nuances to come more to the fore."

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.
