"What a beautiful white Burgundy, with the elegance and concentration we look for in these wines! (James Suckling)"
"[...] The graceful, medium-bodied palate has a chalky character and fine candied citrus fruit. The finish is very long and refined, with considerable mineral and nutty complexity. Made from organically grown grapes. Drink now or cellar. (James Suckling 2024)

Everything I'm looking for in a Côte de Beaune white: a subtle fruity aroma, fullness on the palate and a beautiful finish, it's magnificent.
