"It's the only white of the appellation in this selection, but what a white! It's also the domaine's first vintage in this 1er cru at the foot of the Montagne de Beaune, which owes its name to the "very radiant" Gallic goddess Belisama. And it's in a brilliant pale gold color that the wine presents itself, open to notes of dried fruit, white flowers, brioche and a touch of vanilla. Full-bodied without any heaviness, floral and fruity, the palate perfectly integrates the wood before a finish refreshed by a hint of salt. A radiant Beaune indeed". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022) - Please note very limited quantities.

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
An 11-hectare estate (certified organic since 2012), created in 1983 by Françoise André, one of the last to have its cellars behind the ramparts of Beaune. Previously entrusted to Comte Sénard, the estate has been managed since 2009 by Lauriane André, the owner's daughter-in-law.

About the wine:
The wine is delicate, very pure, and the finish reflects the expression of this sunny climate in a soil of deep clay and limestone pebbles.
