Côte d'Or

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!

This comes from vines high up above Saint Aubin on white limestone. Lean, racy, lemony, a bright linear wine with mineral zip, going towards Chablis in style.

After the 'vignes nouvelles', this has a more lifted subtlety to it, and airier grace - but it is true that the difference is not as huge as last year. Brilliant value as ever, as good as many Me...(read more)

Bright and lively, green fruit freshness. From a vineyard with very white limestone soils filled with clam shell fossils. Strikingly bright and vivid.

Bright full aromatics of toast, citrus, peach fruit, touch floral. Lovely weight of fruit, ripe citrusy, decent flesh, mineral, rich full acid, but plenty of richness, great length.

Sleek and supple while being quite lean and firm. Full of flavour and brightness.

A warm site exposed to the south, also on firm mineral soil giving a sunny wine with rich round appeal which still finishes bright and fresh.

Ripe with a good feel of texture - nicely dry and broad in flavour, picked up by freshness on the finish.

Bright; edgy top note on a concert grand. A taut, crunchy style. Vivacity and energy to the fore. Salty mineral, tight and long. Compact and tense.

Very immediate, like the Bourgogne. Fresh and delicate, one just immediately wants to drink it. Superb purity.

More closed on the nose than the Champgains or Morgeot, there is a mineral force to this, linear and quite intense, a firmer more driven style.

Pale green-gold, light and airy, very attractive juicy, bright-feeling wine with jolly fruit middle and a dry fresh finish.
