There’s nothing basic about this Bourgogne Blanc!
It’s absolutely lovely. With elegant notes of fresh white peach, nectarine, yellow apple, apricot, lemon peel, citrus blossom, chalk, wet slate, salinity, and sapidity; also, delicate cream, flintiness, and cheese rind notes and perhaps a touch of reduction, presenting as struck match. The palate is dry, with medium alcohol (13%), medium (+) acidity.
It fermented with wild yeasts and aged 11 months in a combination of barrels and stainless steel, followed by an addition 7 months in stainless steel tanks.
This wine has verve and vibrancy and is positively delicious.

Continuing quest to taste as many 22’s as possible.
Beautiful honeysuckle notes, Meyer lemon and spring flowers on the nose.
The palate show a good presence of Meyer lemon right at the top. Butterscotch notes, honeysuckle-honey comb, apricots, yellow peach, ripe, syrupy pineapple, cream, slivered almonds, saline, flinty notes, limestone marl, toast, some soft white spices, lots of moist to mushy chalk, yellow & spring flowers, excellent, round acidity and a well made, elegant, round, lush, finish that lasts 90 seconds landing on spice & minerals.
This will merit another point of two with appropriate age but still hard to justify $240 a bottle. The strong lemon presence needs time to calm. — a month ago
From magnum this wine was fresh, crisp, mineral, with delightful aromatics reminiscent of citrus. While perfect for the meal being consumed, I was more measured in my assessment of a score! — 25 days ago
Decanted for 30 minutes. Whilst elegant the bright yellow wine lacked complexity. But acceptable — 8 days ago
Honey and ripe pear. Lifted aromas. Great density on the palate and lingering acidity. — 9 days ago

Pale gold in color, with aromas of apple, pear, peach, lemon, gardenia, and melon, complemented by notes of wet stones, vanilla, and brioche. Dry, with medium acidity and a medium body, this wine is balanced and elegant, with subtle oak adding a layer of complexity.
