Tasting Notes
Almost Chablis-esque on the nose with gunflint, chalky notes, a tingle of sherbet and more crushed rocks. Certainly no hurry to drink this - it has tremendous energy and vibrancy and is already beginning to take on broader, more unctuous notes.
More Info
We’ve been importing from this brilliant producer for 10 years. Based in the village of Fuissé, the domaine is run by Christophe, former young Burgundy winemaker of the year and his sister Sandrine. They’re one of the beacons of burgundy that is still good value, and helpfully, they only release the wines as they’re beginning to drink, so you can be sure of something delicious from the off. They have that aérien quality (a term that Burgundians usually reserve for reverential whispers about Puligny-Montrachet) in the way they seem to glide across the palate with lift not weight, the result of fine fruit concentration, deep-rooted old vines, very low residual sugar and a translatable sense of cool limestone from the soils on which the vines grow. These are some of the most loyally followed wines of all those we import.
