Description

The Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Chardonnay really punches above its weight with a sophisticated, struck-match reduction on the nose, bright, succulent fruit in the middle and a fine, toasty mineral finish. Made from relatively young vines planted on limestone soils in the village of Meloisey, this is fermented and aged in oak barrels, giving a wonderful expression of fruit-focused Burgundian Chardonnay.

Jancis Robinson MW 16.5/20
Made from relatively young vines planted on limestone soils in the village of Meloisey.Lightly nutty. Fresh and nicely balanced with recognisably Burgundian savour. Not for long-term keeping but good value.Drink 2023 - 2027jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (September 2023)
