Tasting notes
There is a nice freshness as well as ginger and baked apple on the nose. A refined palate that is really fresh as well as having good density and ripeness of fruit, and a slight note of wet wool on the finish.

The 2018 Bourgogne Blanc comes from vineyards acquired in 2011/2012 and located near Château de Puligny-Montrachet, and is vinified in 600-liter barrels. It has a light bouquet with scents of green apple and a touch of seawater developing with aeration. The palate is steely on the entry with a fine bead of acidity. There is good tension here, and a briskly citric, lightly spiced finish.
Clean clear and bright. The nose is quite restrained. Starts quite classily but only really kicks on at the back. Green notes to white fruit and with an attractive finish.
