"A delicate, round 1er cru".

"Suave attack and well-calibrated tension". (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve). Over time, this deep, delicate white becomes rounder and fatter, with lemony touches that awaken the palate.

Expressive, with subtle notes of peony and wax

Beautiful balance, with time the wine reveals more fullness and fatness and abandons somewhat the citrus notes, slightly mineral texture, delicate and seductive wine with a tangy finish.

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated 15/20 (Very good wine)

Domaine rated (guide 2021) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)

About the wine:

Suave attack and well-calibrated tension at the back.

About the domain :

Francine Picard, Michel's daughter, puts all her considerable energy and idealism into reshaping the style of wines from the family empire, 140 hectares of vines. Since May 2019, she has been supported by biodynamic consultant Antoine Lepetit, her new technical director. The estate will be certified organic at the end of 2019, and the changes are set to continue with even more precise vinification and ageing. A wide range of top-quality red and white cuvées gives a real insight into the different climates of the Chassagne and Saint-Aubin area.
