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.

Winemakers Notes

Younger vines than the Bienvenues, but a sublime wine in 2000. White gold in colour shot with green. The nose is gorgeous, exotically fruited, flamboyantly rich, nutty and toasty with a shade of lemon. The palate is majestically dense, with sweetly ripe fruit, broad flavours, fine concentration and fine acidity underneath that lifts rthe weight to a suoerbly long finish. From 2007.
