Cool yet very ripe aromas of yellow plum, peach, honeysuckle and menthol. Urgent but supple, with noteworthy concentration and a layered texture. Powerful and long on the back end, with a suggestion of orange juice. Like the Pucelles, this is very ripe but also possesses sound acidity. -International Wine Cellar

Our finest white Burgundy, lauded by Parker and Tanzer, with depth, complexity, and great length. Beautiful gold color. Great aromas of citrus, apple, and apricot with a spiced/candied fruit tang. A full-bodied wine with excellent mouthfeel, depth, and finesse; not at all flabby or hot. Intriguing and complex palate with hints of nut and citrus. Develops in the glass after opening. Will age nicely for 5 to 8 years. Serve with the very finest repasts like goose, duck, and foie gras.
