Tasting notes
The 2019 Beaune Blanc du Chateau 1er Cru offers candied orange peel, vanilla pod and light almond scents on the nose, a slight melioration compared to its showing in barrel. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, a slightly waxy texture, bitter lemon, orange pith and peach skin, leading to a cohesive finish. After a stuttering start, this has found its groove. Tasted at the Bouchard Père tasting in London.

The 2019 Beaune 1er Cru du Château Blanc offers up aromas of pear, white flowers and peaches, framed by a deft touch of oak. Medium to full-bodied, rich and enveloping, it's lively and textural, with good underlying acidity. This is a charming, expressive introduction to the vintage, appellation and maison.
The 2019 Beaune du Château Blanc 1er Cru has an intense bouquet of lemon sherbet, pineapple and orange zest – aromatics that grab your attention. The palate is well balanced with a spicy entry, and quite Asian in style, with a twist of sour lemon toward the finish and a saline aftertaste.
