Aurelien Palthey makes huge strides every year with this cuvée. Less oak, more riveting acidity. Lush and tropical, but it’s from the 50+ year-old vines, not overripeness and cheap cellar tricks. One of the best 2017 white Burgundies I’ve tasted.

Golden yellow - it’s rich, full. Bruised yellow apple, quince, preserved Meyer lemon. Very interesting as it has some age and it’s great that it retained enough acidity to still be balanced

Deep golden color; packed with floral notes and baked white fruits. Outstanding balance and complexity.

For $20? You kidding me? 80 year old vines. Remarkable.
