"From a parcel measuring 0.60 ha. Not surprisingly since the two vineyards abut, there is plenty of citrus character here as well on the softly wooded nose of slightly riper mix of with white and yellow orchard fruit aromas that are trimmed in discreet petrol nuances. There is both fine volume and intensity to the somewhat bigger and richer but equally stony flavors that deliver very fine length on the balanced, complex and beautifully persistent finish. While qualitatively quite similar this and the Baudines offer distinctly different characters."

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.
