"A touch reductive initially, but this clears quickly. On the nose there are aromas of pear, orange blossom, peat and jasmine. More and more chalkiness with air. In the mouth it is powerful and grippy, with a fine, distinctive bitterness and unbelievable finesse in the phenolics. There is little in the way of fruit on the palate: it is currently a completely introverted wine with great inner richness, where the acidity is completely integrated with the body, at no point becoming perceptible in isolation. Noble and full of finesse, on the finish there is a continuing fine thread of texture and minerality. Fresh."

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 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.
