"From Les Bondues and Chenevottes proper. A discreet application of wood sets off the markedly floral-scented nose that is liberally laced with notes of essence of white peach and citrus peel nuances. There is a lovely sense of energy to the seductively textured and saline flavors that terminate in a balanced but presently tightly coiled finale. This refined effort could clearly use a few years of bottle age to unwind and further flesh out."

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.
