"The 2016 Clos de la Maréchale Blanc has also turned out beautifully in this vintage. The wine offers up a bright and vibrant bouquet of pear, crab apple, chalky soil tones, a touch of bee pollen, fresh almond and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and complex, with zesty acids, fine focus and balance and excellent backend energy and grip on the poised and refined finish. This is pretty close to the 2015 Clos de la Maréchale Blanc in terms of ripeness (both pretty close to fourteen percent alcohol), but seems cooler in the mouth and fresher. Fine juice."

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 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.
