The grapes are thus able to mature perfectly whilst maintaining sufficient acidity for preserving the freshness of the complex aromas.

Wine tasting
  • Tasting Note
    The softness and complexity of this wine, enhanced by aromas of honeysuckle and peach, allow this appellation to be included amongst the finest whites of the Côte de Beaune. Already thoroughly enjoyable in its youth, the wine will reveal its true complexity after some ageing.

    Charcuterie - fish - shellfish.


Press review
    • 2001 Beaune 1er Cru Blanc - Burghound.com - April 2004 - 86 points :(From Perrières and Clos du Roi). As one would reasonably expect, this is more forthcoming than the prior wine with pretty, expressive and open red fruit aromas as well as generous lighter weight of modest depth but good persistence. There is a certain appealing vibrancy here and if this can add some complexity over time, my score will appear conservative. 86/2006-9.
