The 'classic' Bourgogne Blanc has great precision to the nose which is floral, crystalline and delicate while having quite a lot of weight behind it; lovely!

Beautifully fat and rich - a Meursault Villages quality in many cellars - bright and firm, with a lovely long, lemony finish. I went back to this after tasting the Premiers Crus and it still show...(read more)
