$66
The 2022 Bourgogne Blanc has a fresh lime and grapefruit-scented bouquet. The palate has good weight - quite a textural Bourgogne Blanc with a slightly honeyed texture and a straightforward malic finish. Drink two or three years after bottling. 84-86 Neal Martin, Vinous (2023).
Currently in tank, being fined in preparation for bottling. Pale colour with a reductive note. A plentiful exuberant juicy fruit, with some fresh citrus behind. Racy finish, this will be delicious to gulp down. **** 87-88 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy (2023).
Drinking Window: 2024 - 2027
