What to Expect

While Burgundy is renowned as the home of Pinot Noir, it is also the source for the ubiquitous Chardonnay grape. In these gently rolling hills Chardonnay achieves some of its most profound expressions. Appellations such as Meursault, Montrachet, and Corton Charlemagne proudly take their place among the most sought-after in all the world of wine. With a richness and complexity few wines can match, Chardonnay from Burgundy adds classic hints of flinty and chalky soil with nuances tones of nuts, cinnamon, honey and butter to the rich, sometimes unctuous but rarely heavy, ripe orchard fruits that the grapes are capable of providing. White Burgundy can improve in the bottle for decades and is arguably the most age-worthy dry white wine in the world.

Rating: 91.5/100 - As reviewed by The Wine Messenger Vivacious; Dry ; Different

Bright golden color with attractive nose of white flowers, citrus and mango. Medium bodied with good grip and texture. Dry but also with generous fruit aromas; refreshing due to good acidity. Long and impressive finish. A wine to enjoy with food (serve chilled), shellfish, and fish courses. Too good to put in a kir! Drink before 2002.
