What can I say? Unbelievable. Big, creamy, floral - all the great things about White Burgundy. Let it open up a little, and it will blow your mind.

Buttery, smooth. This 2009 is what Montrachet is supposed to be all about. A great drink, can be a bit on the pricy side though.

This is my fav white burgundy and this lived up to its reputation as elegant and restrained but with great clarity and definition. And with nice acidity that is so refreshing. And will age well.

Full flavoured chardonnay, good acidity, ripe fruits, toffee oak flavours and some age character.

Perfectly paired with fresh Canadian Pacific Halibut On Chanterelles this straw-colored wine presents a bouquet of fresh fruits, cut flowers with background hints of its storied terroir. Its beautiful soft buttery mouth feel almost contradicts its full body and pronounced layering of flavors and excellent intensity in length. This Chardonnay’s purity and precision highlights the organic farming and production methods of the “Maison Joseph Drouhin. This vintner is and will continue to be a favorite in my wine selection. Cheers 🇫🇷🇨🇦🍷
