Burgundy, France
See previous notes from 21 weeks ago. The warm 2015 vintage giving more tropical fruit flavours like pineapple. Still vibrant and fresh with medium minus acid. Great to drink now. Can’t see the point of extended cellaring. Looking forward to trying some 2014 Premier Crus from young Benjamin Leroux who is a rising star in Burgundy.

Feb 18th, 2021Tasted the red version from 2015 a few nights ago. This is pale to mid Lemon in colour. Citrus peel and a tiny bit of oak on the nose. Light to medium bodied with nice texture and citric acid tension. The majority of this cuvée is drawn from 60 year old vines rooted in a single site in Meursault called Les Millerands (so named because of the small bunches and berries that result in this terroir. ) Les Millerands is on the Puligny side of Meursault. The wine was raised in 12 hectolitre cask for 12 months before spending a few months resting in tank. Not complex - juicy and ready to drink.

May 17th, 2020This wine always overdelivers for the price point lemon, green apple and plenty of minerality!! And it’s perfect with oyster stew ❤️😋

Dec 1st, 2019Another aging beauty I forgot I had. Dark straw color with orange, nectarine and cardamom caramel flavors. Sipping slowly

On the other hand, this was very good. Reductive, fair amount of citrus fruit, white peach and richness but all in balance with good acidity. Could last for the next few years and a great value.

Aug 20th, 2019A little funky note on the nose - Lees stirring? Raised in 12 Hectolitre casks for 12 months so no overt oak influence preferring vibrancy and freshness from the Chardonnay juice. Medium plus Citric acid. The majority of this cuvée is drawn from 60 year old vines in Meursault. Again, excellent QPR in a Village level Bourgogne Blanc from a rising star in Burgundy.
