Description

The recent Burgfest tasting of over 200 white Premier and Grand Cru wines reinforced my initial faith in this vintage for Chardonnay, while it was clear that the big winners were those villages with deeper soils that retain the most water, notably Meursault and Chassagne. This is an excellent example of what 2018 can offer; the nose is spicy with a gentle oatmeal character, ripe white fruit but generally savoury.

The attack is more generous, with peach and ripe citrus combining, pleasing weight, then a finish which offersplenty of freshness in the form of citrus acidity and a textural grip. There’s a pleasing youthful bitterness that points to a promising future.

Drink 2024 - 2030

Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 92/100
A more complex nose is composed by notes of petrol, resin, apple, citrus and a subtle hint of wood. The sleek but solidly concentrated middle weight plus flavors brim with sappy dry extract that coats the palate on the energetic, persistent and dry finish that displays fine depth. This very dry yet seductive effort isn't particularly refined but it's certainly impressive plus it's sufficiently tightly wound that it should reward up to a decade of cellaring.Drink 2026+Alan Meadows, burghound_com.com (Jun 2020)
