"Tangerine and a hint of reductive notes. Rather more citrus fruit than stone fruit. A trace of roasted coffee. After some aeration roasted hazelnut can be detected too. On the palate there is great homogeneity, and a gentle drive in the build-up, which leads into a persistent plateau phase with ripe acidity and measured phenolics; very powerful, and with a finish that has a somewhat astringent minerality. A powerful, mighty wine. A very dense finish that almost requires one to chew. Very salty."

The Cote de Beaune's largest white-wine village, known for rich, nutty, buttery Chardonnay of generous texture.
2019 in Burgundy combined spring frost and summer drought to cut yields, producing concentrated yet balanced wines; the reds are ripe and structured with retained freshness, making an excellent, ageworthy vintage in both colors.
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.
