- TASTING NOTE: "Very snappy and crisp on first sip, this gains depth and complexity in toasted almonds and butter as it opens. Alive with crisp apples, lemon zest and a mineral tang that gives a very lively texture and great balance. Medium-bodied. Blended from 60 sites in the region, it was partially barrel fermented. Drink or hold." 92 Points - James Suckling
- ABOUT THE WINE: The wine comes from around sixty Climats located mainly in the villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. Depending on the vintage, certain plots from Hautes-Côtes de Beaune and Côte Chalonnaise complete the blend of this cuvée. 14 months ageing of which 70% in oak barrels (10% new) the rest in stainless steel.

Today the domaine produces wine from some 65 appellations with 85% of the production being white wine. One of Burgundy’s most respected producers the estate produces a number of domaine wines from its own vineyards alongside its range of negocé bottlings.
